Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak answers a question during a press conference in the United Nations headquarters, in New York, on Dec. 9, 2010. (Xinhua/Shen Hong) UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Thursday voiced his hope to find a new formula "in coming few weeks" to move forward the Middle East peace process, including the efforts to resume the direct peace talks between Palestinians and Israelis to address "direct issues" concerning the lengthy Mideast conflict. "I believe we have to go over and beyond the hurdles of the second moratorium that somehow could not be delivered and move beyond it into the direct negotiations about the core issues in order to move forward," Barak said. "And we hope that a formula of this nature will be found in the coming few weeks in order to enable us to keep moving forward." Barak made the statement to reporters here after he met with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon at the UN Headquarters in New York. "I just ended a fruitful meeting with the secretary-general, we covered the Middle Eastern issue and the need to pursue the negotiation between us and the Palestinians in a way that contains both a sense of urgency and a sense of purpose," the minister said. During the meeting, "I asked the secretary-general to use the influence that the UN enjoys with all players of the region to consider the situation, it is a strategic need of all peoples of the region," said Barak. The formula described by Barak means that Israel seeks the resumption of direct talks with the Palestinians without a freeze on the settlement building in the occupied territory, observers here said. The Barak-Ban meeting took place at a time when the secretary- general regrets that the Israeli government does not heed the appeal of the international community to extend a freeze on the Jewish settlement construction in the occupied territory.Israel hopes to find "new formula" to move forward peace process barak - China Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger Tubes I am an expert from seamlessweldedpipe.com, while we provides the quality product, such as China Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger Tubes , Stainless Steel Bright Annealed Tube, Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe,and more.
