Peace talks kick off amid skepticism
highly anticipated Middle East peace talks kicked off in Washington DC welcoming leaders for the Palestinian Authority, Israel, Jordan and Egypt. The summit comes as questions loom over how Israel will move forward with settlement activity in the West Bank. Meanwhile, the issue of the besieged Gaza strip was not part of the agenda. Officials from Hamas were not invited to the peace talks because the US and Israel designate the democratically elected government of Gaza as a terrorist organization.
