Kerry Heads Back to Mideast for Fresh Peace Push

This article discusses John Kerry's recent attempt at promoting peace talks between the Israelis and the Palestinians. On Saturday, Kerry traveled to the Middle East where he first planned to approach the Turkish leaders and persuade them to improve their relationship with Israel. The article explained that the two countries were once allies before Israel's raid on a Turkish flotilla that occurred in 2010. During his visit in Turkey, Kerry will also speak with other Turkish officials about the violence in Syria in an attempt to create programs that can reduce or eliminate these behaviors. Kerry will end his trip by focusing on North Korea's nuclear program and their current threats towards the United States in his meetings with government administrators and leaders in Britain, South Korea, China, and Japan.
