Deputy Spokeswoman of the U.S. State Department Marie Harf told journalists that Israel and Palestine will not reach an agreement by the end of the month, ITAR-TASS reports.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced renewal of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks after a 3-year break in Washington on June 30, 2013. 9 months were given to find a solution to the conflict.
Moreover, Harf noted that the U.S. was still a mediator in the Middle East conflict. U.S. Special Envoy for Israeli-Palestinian Negotiations Martin Indyk and his staff were returning to the region after consultations with Kerry. Indyk arrived in Washington in the night of April 11.
