Annapolis Talks Yield A Date To Keep Talking

According to the end of day statements, the Annapolis meetings set December 12 as the date for substantive Israeli-Palestinian final status talks in a projected year-long process.

I have noted elsewhere that only when there is a fortuitous collision of interests and outside interventions does momentum shift in the century long conflict over Jerusalem (a microcosm of the larger impasse). It seems such a crucial shift might be round the corner.
