Khaled Meshaal, the head of Hamas' political bureau, said that the efforts of US Secretary of State John Kerry to revive peace talks did not include a serious vision for a just solution to the [Palestinian-Israeli] issue.
According to Meshaal, Kerry did not put any pressure on the Israeli side, which occupies Palestinian land. Rather, Kerry was content with directing pressure at Arab parties and the Palestinian presidency, pushing them to carry out repeated pro forma projects that were far removed from the essence of the conflict and the issue. Therefore, Meshaal said, these attempts will fail, as they have in the past.
