Israel-Palestine peace talks to resume as Palestinians agree to “minor” territorial concessions, according to a counter-proposal to a contentious US plan.
Israel-Palestine talks: Palestine ready to negotiate
A Palestinian Authority text sent to the international peacemaking Quartet, seen on Monday, says the Palestinians are “ready to resume direct bilateral negotiations where they stopped,” in 2014. Palestinian prime minister Mohammed Shtayyeh said on June 9 that the PA had drafted a response to the US proposal but did not previously mention direct talks with the Israelis.
Israel’s coalition government has set July 1 as the date from which it could initiate action on US President Donald Trump’s Middle East controversial peace proposals.

The remark was made overnight in a pre-recorded address to a conference organized by “Christians United for Israel,” a U.S.-based pro-Israeli evangelical group. Speaking two days before his set date for annexing part of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Netanyahu urged the Palestinians to “embrace” Trump’s plan.
