奥巴马总统对巴勒斯坦、以色列重启直接和谈表示欢迎。奥巴马称,前进的道路虽艰难,仍愿双方坚持信念。三年来巴以谈判者的首次会议将在美国国务卿John Kerry主持的晚宴中进行,双方面临破坏过去和平提议的同一争议,包括以色列在约旦河西岸的定居问题。以色列代表团团长兼司法部长Tzipi Livni承认谈判会有困难。
"There's a lot of cynicism and scepticism and pessimism, but there is also hope. And I believe that by re-launching the negotiations we can recreate hope for Israelis and for Palestinians as well. And I truly believe that peace between Israel and the Palestinians is in the Israeli interest and Palestinian interest, the interest of the international community.”
“这期间有很多嘲讽、怀疑和悲观,但也有希望。我认为重启协商可以为巴以重创希望。我相信巴以的和平真正符合两国利益,也符合国际社会的利益。”
