US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will travel to the Middle East on Sunday in a bid to promote peace talks between Israeli and Palestinian officials.
The peace process has made little visible progress since its formal relaunch last November during the Annapolis conference in the United States. Both sides remain deeply divided on core issues like the status of Jerusalem, the fate of Palestinian refugees, and final borders. Rice has already visited the region 17 times in the past two years. During her last trip to Israel in June, Rice strongly criticised the expansion of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, saying they undermined the peace process.
