Kerry: Mideast peace talks will go beyond April

[Jefferson23]

WASHINGTON (AFP) -- US Secretary of State John Kerry acknowledged Wednesday that his quest to seal a full Middle East peace deal will slip beyond an April deadline.

He was first hoping to agree a framework to guide the talks between Israel and the Palestinians, Kerry told a small group of reporters in Washington, including AFP.

"Then we get into the final negotiations. I don't think anybody would worry if there's another nine months, or whatever it's going to be... But that's not defined yet," he said in his private conference room at the State Department.

"We're using the current deadline to help shape this," he said, adding he was prepared to continue the talks "for whatever period of time might be appropriate."

What a farce. Keep it going as long as possible, SoS Kerry. Let Israel steal more land in the meantime, kill more Palestinians and offload more illegals into their territories.

What is the name for a person or group of persons that lets others commit crimes over and over while looking he other way?
