Dear Doves,

We first heard that the Israeli-Palestinian peace deal would take around 9 months. Now it’s being reported that it would take 6 to 9 months. Looks like they’re speeding things up….

Israel negotiator predicts 'dramatic decisions'

Israel will make "dramatic decisions" to reach a final peace agreement that will end the conflict with the Palestinians, Israel's chief negotiator said Tuesday while warning that hawks inside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition are making her job more difficult.

Tzipi Livni's remarks came as a senior Palestinian official said that Israeli and Palestinian negotiators met for their second round of peace talks Tuesday. The first round was held last week in Jerusalem under a cloak of secrecy.

Kerry managed to get the Palestinians to drop their demand in exchange for Israel's release of long-time Palestinian prisoners involved in killing Israeli civilians and soldiers. Talks on a final deal are to last six to nine months.

Livni said that hawkish parties in the coalition are making the talks more difficult because of their opposition to establishment of a Palestinian state, the centerpiece of any peace deal.
