Multiple sources told the Washington Free Beacon that top Obama administration officials have worked for the past several days to manufacture a crisis over the reissuing of housing permits in a Jerusalem neighborhood widely acknowledged as Israeli territory. <br /><br /> Senior State Department officials based in Israel have sought to lay the groundwork for Israel to take the blame for talks collapsing by peddling a narrative to the Israeli press claiming that the Palestinians were outraged over Israeli settlements, the Free Beacon has learned. <br /><br /> These administration officials have planted several stories in Israeli and U.S. newspapers blaming Israel for the collapse of peace talks and have additionally provided reporters with anonymous quotes slamming the Israeli government. <br /><br /> The primary source of these multiple reports has been identified as Middle East envoy Martin Indyk and his staff, according to these insiders, who said that the secret media campaign against Israel paved the way for Secretary of State John Kerry to go before Congress on Tuesday and publicly blame Israel for tanking the talks. <br /><br /> “The Palestinians didn’t even know they were supposed to be abandoning negotiations because of these housing permits, which are actually old, reissued permits for areas everyone assumes will end up on the Israelis’ side of the border anyway,” said one senior official at a U.S. based pro-Israel organization who asked to remain anonymous because the Obama administration has in the past retaliated against critics from inside the pro-Israel world. <br /><br /> “Then Martin Indyk started telling anyone who would listen that in fact the Palestinians were angry over the housing issue,” the source said. “Eventually, the Palestinians figured out it was in their interest to echo what the Americans were saying.......... One former Israeli diplomat familiar with Indyk’s tactics said that he is a crass political player who has a history of planting negative stories about Israel in order to undermine the Netanyahu government and bolster his hand in the talks. <br /><br /> “I’ve seen this before and see his fingerprints,” said the source, who referenced a separate story two weeks ago in which U.S. government sources implied that newly installed Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer was not performing his job effectively. <br /><br /> “It’s certainly in Indyk’s interest now [to undermine the Israelis], but this was a game he also used to play when he was ambassador twice,” said the former diplomat. “This is part of Indyk’s playbook.” <br /><br /> “There was only one person who would do this kind of thing and it’s Martin Indyk and his staff,” the former diplomat added. <br /><br /> Another Washington-based source familiar with the talks said that Kerry’s peace team has a track record of trashing Israel anonymously. <br /><br /> “It’s one of the worst-kept secrets in Jerusalem that Kerry’s team leaks anti-Netanyahu quotes and claims to the Israeli press—not that is should be a mystery why Israeli reporters based in Israel keep producing anti-Bibi quotes from ‘American officials,’” the source said. <br /><br /> “But just imagine the outrage if the roles were reversed and Bibi had a team on the ground in D.C. trashing Obama to the Washington Post on background,” the source said.”<br /><br />http://israelmatzav.blogspot.ca/2014/04/who-caused-peace-talks-to-collapse.html#linksDoodadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349941094682080146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-51379407385340295122014-04-10T08:51:28.734-07:002014-04-10T08:51:28.734-07:00http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-InG69dixCK8/U0Z_35LHjyI/...http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-InG69dixCK8/U0Z_35LHjyI/AAAAAAABkKw/VuCsvvQNqIs/s1600/Kerry+kissing+Khameni.jpgDoodadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349941094682080146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-3349072393711917462014-04-09T19:57:43.451-07:002014-04-09T19:57:43.451-07:00John "Poof" Kerry.

Gilo has been part of Israel for 40 years and not even the Arabs want it, ask for it or expect it. But what this should lead to - is a statement by Israel that they can no longer deal with Kerry.<br /><br />(BTW in that same announcement Kerry stated that Iran is 2 months from developing a nuclear weapon.
