Peace Direct talks are scheduled to start today afternoon in the US State Department between the Palestinian President Mamoud Abbas and the Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in the middle of mutual lack of confidence. US President Barack Obama launched the negotiations and called the two parties not to lose this opportunity that might lead to establishing peace on the basis of founding a Palestinian state and ensuring Israel’s security and that in a year from now. "We are under no illusions ... years of mistrust will not disappear overnight," Obama said. "This moment of opportunity may not soon come again. They cannot afford to let it slip away", he said. Obama who had met with both Netanyahu and Abbas each apart said that it is time for courageous leaders to open the door of peace for their people.
