US Secretary of State John Kerry has announced the diplomatic process between Israel and the PA (Palestinian Authority) will be a high priority during his administration. Kerry is credited with choreographing the apology from Israel to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, leading a path to renewed diplomatic ties between the countries.
According to a Maariv report, Kerry plans to come to the region every two weeks as he seeks to jumpstart the diplomatic process between Israel and the PA, calling on both sides to show confidence building measures.

He’ll be racking up those frequent flyer miles
I remember when I lived in Yerushalayim and James Baker used to come to Israel every so often. Traffic was a mess. I can’t imagine dealing with John Kerry every two weeks.
He cannot be trusted. His grandfather, Fritz Cohen, was a Jew who converted to Roman Catholicism and changed his name to Fred Kerry.
Is that Kerry as in “Baal Kerry”? Perhaps.
oooh, I want that job.
bad news for Israel
Avraham, I do not understand what you are saying. If his grandfather was a meshumad, how does that show the grandson to be untrustworthy?
This is not a joke! Kerry, like Clinton & Rice, before him, are there to put undo pressure on Israel only! Like Clinton & Bush, Obama dreams that HE will be the one to bring a lasting “peace”!
No. 3: I had never heard about Kerry’s alleged Jewish roots. I did a quick Google search, and there are several web sites that report that his grandfather is who you say he is, and that he converted to Catholicism and changed his name to Kerry before emigrating to the US. However, all these sites were anti-Semitic and warned that Kerry is an operative for Jewish interests. So there are at least 2 groups of people warning us not to trust John Kerry – one group says he’s working for the Jews, one group says he’s working against the Jews.
