Israelis and the Palestinians will sit down in Washington today to try again to move towards a resolution of their conflict.

Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen outlines the history of peace negotiations and the current position of Palestinian settlements in Israel.

Professor of politics Beverley Milton-Edwards explains where Hamas stands in the peace talks, she claims that Hamas "is not anti-peace" nor "anti-negotiation," and are not "anti-Israel" but rather "anti Israeli occupation". (source) (h/t: IsraellyCool)
