Middle East mediators seek to revive peace talks
ATFP World Press Roundup Article from Reuters by Arshad Mohammed - April 12, 2012 - 12:00am WASHINGTON, April 11 (Reuters) - Middle East peace mediators on Wednesday criticized Israeli settlement building and called on donors to meet aid pledges to the Palestinians as they sought to revive moribund peace talks.
