“We need to launch a really big campaign publicizing the duplicity of Israel in all of the past negotiations and how ineffective America has been … as a mediator,” said Jim W. Dean in a Monday interview with Press TV.
“America should not have anything to do with it because they have actually emboldened Israel,” he added.
The analyst pointed to the history of US failure as a phenomenon “hardwired” into the whole process of talks between Israel and Palestine, noting, “It is just a horrendous situation and getting America out of it and getting somebody in there as a real independent mediator would be another big step.”
On Thursday, US State Department spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, said talks between the PA and the Israeli regime will resume on August 14 in al-Quds (Jerusalem).
The representatives of Israel and the PA met last month in Washington. The meeting was the first direct negotiations in three years.
Observers say US mediator in the planned talks, Martin Indyk, maintains very strong connections with the Zionist lobby inside and outside of the United States.
Last month, Hamas rejected the US’ proposal for the resumption of talks, saying it “considers the Palestinian Authority’s return to negotiations with the occupation to be at odds with the national consensus.”
The last Palestinian-Israeli talks were halted in September 2010 after Tel Aviv refused to freeze its settlement activities in the West Bank.
Palestinians are seeking to create an independent state on the territories of the West Bank, East al-Quds, and the Gaza Strip, and are demanding that Israel withdraw from the Palestinian territories occupied in the Six-Day War of 1967.
Tel Aviv, however, has refused to return to the 1967 borders and is unwilling to discuss the issue of al-Quds.
