The U.S. secretary of state in search of ideas to solve the Palestinian issue

The United States is the key stakeholders, in addition to the parties, the resolution of the Palestinian problem, but at the moment, have no solutions to unlock the negotiation that is, in fact, stalled since 2010. With these assumptions, bleak and then with a few specific measures, the U.S. secretary of state John Kerry is trying to gauge the mood of the two parties through the official visit that country is doing in Israel. To put it mildly was coined the definition of quiet diplomacy, that is, a series of almost unofficial contacts to try to develop a new strategy to make make some progress in the peace process. In reality it is practical admission that American diplomacy, traditionally at the heart of the matter, is groping in the dark, not knowing how to unlock situation is no longer stalled for too long. Kerry told reporters that it would be irresponsible not to explore fully the possibilities of progress, a phrase that explains how Washington lacks a way out in any way. Despite this clear awareness that exposes the secretary of state to certainly not look good, the U.S. is obliged to seek a solution because they believe strategic and central to its foreign policy, the progress of the peace process. This is essential in order to respond differently and with less worries of mind the Iranian nuclear issue, which has been dragging on for too long and for that solution, you can not find a strategy without definitive resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian problem. On the contrary, creation, or at least the start, the Palestinian state would allow the United States to remove one of alibi on which the propaganda of Tehran. But the suspicion gained between Israelis and Palestinians, already if present, and increased after 2010, it remains the most difficult obstacle to overcome. Kerry is moving with the lights off, with the understanding that the U.S. government at the time, did not develop any plan that will persuade the respective parties to move from their positions. So the job of secretary of state, as well as daunting, is, at this stage, only that of the collection of information, hoping to get some useful information. It is, seen in this light, a desperate and useless, since the White House are familiar with the state of the question. The problem is always the same: the Israeli invasion of the Palestinian territories, which took place in violation of the existing agreements and even to common sense objective. Moreover, the position Abbas has been stationary for some time: the starting point is the freezing of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem Netanyahu goes in the opposite direction, both ancient belief, both for the success of the recent elections formations in their program have its settlement expansion. The thought of Obama has always been to return to the Treaty of 1967, but can not push too hard on this line because it needs to check Tel Aviv, avoiding autonomous actions against Iran, which would force the Americans to an intervention required alongside Israel, but far from desired. Moreover, the attitude of Obama, the new presidential term is due to change, becoming less cold towards Netanyahu, just to prevent the unilateral attack against Tehran repeatedly threatened. Probably not the Iranian nuclear threat the U.S. would have a greater leeway to impose their vision of two states, but for the moment are in check. This finding demonstrates, among other things, that the attitude of Iranian damage in a decisive way the Palestinian ambitions for the construction of its own state. However, the need to resolve the issue remains important, but at the moment has relied exclusively on skills and ingenuity of Kerry, who for hands diplomats historically one of the cases more difficult to resolve.
