More updates on the peace process, as it stands frozen as the settlement freeze is lifted. It will be interesting to see how or if man can get this off high center…

Palestinians Back Abbas on Settlement Slowdown
RAMALLAH, West Bank — Dozens of senior Palestinians on Saturday backed President Mahmoud Abbas’ refusal to negotiate with Israel as long as it builds in West Bank settlements, dealing a new setback to troubled U.S. efforts to salvage peace talks.
Israel refuses to extend a 10-month-old curb on settlement construction, while Abbas says there is no point in negotiating as long as settlements eat up more of the land the Palestinians want for a future state.
