US Safeguards ’Israel’ in Talks with PA: 85% of Settlements PreservedAccording to the report, "Israeli" and Palestinian negotiators who recently met in Washington to discuss timetables for negotiations, also discussed the fate of West Bank settlements and the possibility of so-called "land swaps".

Immediately after "Israeli" minister Tzipi Livni and Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat left Washington, Kerry phoned some of his friends at the House of Representatives to report about the talks.

In separate phone calls Kerry assured the congressmen, most of whom were pro-"Israel", that "Israel's" interests are being safeguarded. According to one congressman, Kerry said he believed 85% of "Israel's" biggest settlement blocs will remain under "Israeli" sovereignty. He added that the US administration had safeguarded "Israel's" interests.

The congressman, who described himself a true friend of Tel Aviv, asked Kerry whether the Palestinians will ever recognize "Israel" as a "Jewish state", to which the secretary of state reportedly replied "that's one of my goals. A homeland for the Jewish people."
