Report: US accepts Israel's position on Jordan Valley

You will recall that I reported on Thursday evening that the 'Palestinians' have rejected security proposals made by the United States. Now, we may know one reason why. A report indicates that the United States has accepted Israel's position regarding the need for an Israeli security presence in the Jordan Valley.

American mediation is moving significantly toward Israel's demands, according to a diplomatic source who was involved in the meetings between the two on Thursday. The source told the Ma'ariv daily that the US accepts Israel's stance on a long-term presence in the Jordan Valley as well as the need for an Israeli military presence there. The source added that the outline presented by Kerry and security advisor John Allen "gives good responses to Israeli demands and comes very toward Israel."

Hmmm.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
