any preconditions whatsoever. unfortunately, president abbas said yesterday that he is not prepared to do this. well, i hope that he changes his mind, because i remain committed to a vision of two states for two peoples in which a demilitarized palestinian state recognizes the jewish state. and the peace process began over two decades ago, and yet despite the best efforts of six israeli prime minister, rabin, perez, barack, shimon, olmert and myself, the palestinians have consistently refused to end the conflict and make a final peace with israel. and unfortunately, you heard that rejectionism yet again only yesterday from president abbas. how can israel make peace with a palestinian partner who refuses to the even sit at the e negotiating table? israel expects the palestinian authority to abide by its commitments. the palestinians should not walk away from peace. president abbas, i know it is not easy. i know it is hard. but we owe it to our peoples to try. to don't -- to continue to try, because if we actually negotiate and stop e negotiating about the negotiation, and sit down to tr

meets with netanyahu and mahmoud abbas this week or is this just the first step to reinvigorate what are going to be much longer discussions? >> reporter: i think if you ask both sides, certainly you get the impression from being here on the ground from some of the comments that have been coming out from israeli officials and certainly from palestinian officials, nobody's really holding their breath thinking there's going to be any major break-through following these meetings. what you heard from u.s. secretary of state john kerry is he wants to try and restore calm. he also wants to try and reassure everyone that the status quo agreement which is the decades-old long agreement that has governed who goes in and out of some of the religious holy sites in the old city is going to remain in place, it is not going to be changed. the reason that's so important is because that has been one of the major flashpoints of distrust over the last several years. palestinians believe israel is trying to change that agreement and restricting their access to muslim holy sites. israel says it has no inten

his spokesmen are really only inciting the situation further. when president abbas declared at the united nations that he was no longer going to abide by oslo, that was a signal to a lot of palestinians to take violence into their own hands. and this is a smartphone intefadeh as we would call it. >> so can we expect that this will continue, a cycle a that we're in right now? or can peace talks be revived, mark? >> well, i'm absolutely convinced that there has to be a resumption of talks, whether it's orchestrated by the united states or not is irrelevant. the problem is neither side at this point in time believe that they have enough common ground to pursue these talks, but they have to be dragged because it's essential as we can see what's happening in the street, number one. number two, there's no doubt that hamas and the islamist extremists in both the west bank and gaza are taking full advantage of what essentially have been efforts by other youths upon youths to encourage young kids to grab knives and go stab israelis at random. it's absolutely an inco incomprehensible crime t
