Default What Will Kerry Do to Facilitate Peace in Israel?

Go to the United Nations [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]?

To be fair I went to the Kerry web site and this all I could find:

John Kerry believes that American absence from the Middle East Peace Process at senior levels, except for the occasional drop-by, has risked security for the US as well as states in the region. The recent effort by former officials of Israel and the Palestinian Authority to lay out a possible agreement on final status issues is an opportunity which must be seized and built upon. To demonstrate his commitment, John Kerry would:
• Appoint A Presidential Envoy For The Middle East Peace Process. Recognizing the relationship between the Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process and combating international terrorism, Kerry will appoint a respected, senior-level Presidential Envoy to the Middle East Peace Process. The Envoy will report directly to the President and the Secretary of State and will be responsible for moving the Peace Process forward.



So apparently Kerry actually will eschew using his beloved UN in trying to negotiate a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. Instead he will appoint an Envoy to as Kerry puts it, "move the Peace Process forward." Sounds like he plans to appoint Michael J. Milquetoast as his envoy.
