(Before It's News)

WASHINGTON — The United States has named a leading critic of Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to head negotiations between Israel and the
Palestinian Authority for the establishment of a West Bank state in 2014.

The administration of President Barack Obama said Martin Indyk would
lead the U.S. team that would coordinate between Israel and the PA in talks
slated to last nine months.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announces during a July 29 press conference that he has selected Martin Indyk to head the new round of Israeli-Palestinian talks.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announces during a July 29 press conference that Martin Indyk was selected to head the new round of Israeli-Palestinian talks.

Obama said Indyk, a senior official under President Bill Clinton, was selected for his experience in Israel-Palestinian affairs.

In an interview with NPR on Marach 17, 2010, Indyk called Netanyahu a conservative and a Zionist.

“My sense of Bibi [Netanyahu], from working closely with him some time ago, was that he was much more a Republican — that is, a genuine conservative — than he was a Likudnic. . . . But when he goes home at night, it’s a different story. [T]he people he lives with, are hard-line, Zionist, right-wing ideologues who don’t believe in making concessions to the Arabs, and don’t believe in giving up territory.”
