Kerry to work with Egypt on peace process, will attend June 3 Paris conference

If it’s the twilight of a U.S. presidency, then it’s time for another push on Israeli-Palestinian peace: US Secretary of State John Kerry will be attending a conference in Paris on June 3 to discuss Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts, he said on Thursday, but added that it would be up to both sides to decide whether they were ready to negotiate, Reuters reports. “I will work with the French, I will work with the Egyptians, I will work with the Arab community in good faith in an effort to see if we can find a way to help the parties see their way to come back,” Kerry told a news conference during a meeting of NATO foreign ministers. Kerry was in Cairo last week to talk to President Abdel Fattah El Sisi about peace-keeping efforts after Egypt after El Sisi promised Israel warmer ties if it resumes peace talks with the Palestinians.
