Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton sought to inject urgency Friday into Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, warning that the negotiations might be "the last chance for a very long time" to reach an agreement. In an unusual joint interview with Israeli and Palestinian television broadcasters a day after she presided over the start of the first direct talks in two years, Clinton said that the failure of negotiations will boost the position of those who want to disrupt peace. However, Clinton uttered doubts over full confidence in the success in negotiations. As to Jerusalem issue, Clinton said that the city could become the symbol of peace and cooperation between the Israelis and the Palestinians if they thrive to solve the long-lasting peace conflict. Clinton added that the restraints imposed on the movement of the Palestinians is on the negotiations schedule.
