Barak at Brookings: 'We must overcome suspicion'

Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Friday expressed optimism about the peace process while speaking at the Brookings Institution, reported CNN.
Barak said that although Israel was not able to launch a second moratorium on settlements, "we must find a way to renew negotiations ... we must overcome suspicion." He said there "is no contradiction between a two-state solution and the security of Israel."
"I am optimistic," the defense minister said. "I believe it can be done."
