US Secretary of State John Kerry is succombing to Israeli demands on key issues in the peace process according to Nabil Shaath,  member of Fatah Central Committee.“Today, you will see Mr. Kerry going back and forth, discussing nothing but two issues. The two issues have never been in our agenda: the Jewishness of the state [of Israel] and the Jordan [Valley]”, Shaath said at a press conference in Ramallah, adding that the Palestinian authority will never be agreed upon by the Palestinian Authories. The Palestinian leaders refuse to recognice Israel as a Jewish state since it most probably would reclude the right of return for Palestinian refugees.”You think any Palestinian leader in his right mind can ever accept this?" said Shaath.The other sticking point is that Israel insists to keep control over the Jordan Valley and the border to Jordan. The Palestinian leaders, however, refuse to accept any Israeli military presence in a future Palestinian state but would agree on an agreement where an international security force controled the border area between the West Bank and Jordan.The demands from Israel on these two issues makes Nabil Shaath doubt if the Israelis are serious in trying to reach a peace agreement."Is this simply instated to make it impossible for any Palestinian leader to sign a peace agreement with Israel?", said Shaath.
