Abbas says the settlements are a "major obstacle" in the so-called "proximity talks."
What a great euphemism. The talks are, of course, anything but proximate. They are designed to be distant and obfuscatory, to cause confusion and further muddy the waters. Only a diplomat could justify using the word "proximity" to characterize such a charade.
For the record: the only thing "the settlements" are a major obstacle to is the destruction of the State of Israel. Bibi knows it, Abbas knows it, and I won't comment on who else probably knows it too.
