What was expected did actually happen.
When US Secretary of State John Kerry undertook his mission to handle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict each time Israel would announce its determination to build more settlements. This exercise of “negotiating” followed simultaneously by more settlements constitutes a pattern that has been introduced since the Oslo Accord. It is now undertaken in a much more sustained manner. Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon provided in a crude language that so-called “negotiations” and “framework agreement” proposed by Kerry is thus treated as an interruption, which delays and perhaps stifles Israeli objectives.
