US/MID-EAST PEACEBack
[Published: Tuesday March 09 2010]

US eyes chance for Mid-East peace

Washington, 09 March-(ANA)-US Vice-President Joe Biden has said there is a "moment of real opportunity" for peace between the Palestinians and Israel during a visit to the region.

Mr Biden said he hoped the agreement to begin indirect talks would be a vehicle by which both sides could "allay that layer of mistrust that has built up".

He made the comments during meetings with Israeli leaders in Jerusalem.

Hours before Mr Biden's arrival, Israel enraged Palestinians by approving 112 new homes in the occupied West Bank.

Palestinian officials accused Israel of trying to undermine the talks. (ANA)
