In this image taken from video obtained from Youth Against Settlements, a group of Palestinian activists, which has been authenticated based on its contents and other AP reporting, a Palestinian teen confronts an Israeli soldier in the West Bank city of Hebron. The reprimand of an Israeli soldier, caught on video cursing and pointing a cocked gun toward the head of a Palestinian teen, has triggered the biggest outpouring of frustration by Israeli soldiers in years about their service in the West Bank.

FILE - In this file photo taken Saturday, Jan. 11, 2014, Israel's President Shimon Peres delivers a statement following the death of late Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon at the President's residence in Jerusalem. Among those vying to become Israel's next president are a former defense minister, a former foreign minister, a former finance minister, a respected long-serving lawmaker and a Nobel Prize winner. Amazingly, the man they all seek to replace has held all of those titles and more during a legendary 65-year political career. (AP Photo/Sebastian Scheiner, File)

The real problem with John Kerry’s ‘apartheid’ comment about Israel

FILE - In this Jan. 2, 2014 file photo, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, left, listens as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu makes a statement during a press conference before their talk at the prime minister's office in Jerusalem. Tuesday, April 29, 2014, was to have been the day to seal a deal on a Palestinian state alongside Israel. Instead, it became another missed deadline in two decades of negotiating failures. The gaps between Israeli and Palestinian positions remain vast after nine months of talks launched by Secretary of State John Kerry. He hasn't given up, but there's a sense the U.S. may have to change its traditional approach to brokering talks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas now face risky paths that could lead to a new conflagration. Here's a look at what might happen next.

FILE - In this March 14, 2011 file photo, a general view of a construction site in the West Bank Jewish settlement of Modiin Illit. An Israeli watchdog group says Israel increased settlement work four-fold during the latest round of peace talks, pushing forward with construction of nearly 14,000 new homes in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. Peace Now issued its statistics on Tuesday, April 29, 2014, as a nine-month negotiating period came to a close. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry had envisioned a final peace agreement when he brought the sides together last July. But negotiations made no progress and were characterized by a lack of trust, in large part because of continued Israeli settlement construction in captured territories claimed by the Palestinians. According to Peace Now, Israel promoted plans or issued tenders for construction of 13,851 homes during the talks. It said the level of construction quadrupled compared to recent years.
