Kerry on Monday announced Martin Indyk, a former U.S. ambassador to Israel, as Washington's Middle East envoy, whose job will be to oversee the negotiations. Indyk is a veteran of U.S. efforts to resolve the Israeli- Palestinian conflict. He was a senior official in the Clinton administration, which oversaw a failed summit in 2000 after which violence erupted in Israel and Palestinian territories.

Some good news though?
Israeli and Palestinian officials put forward clashing formats for peace talks which were due to resume in Washington on Monday for the first time in nearly three years.
