Talks resumed today after being delayed since February 14th, when a string of Hamas suicide bombings delayed meetings until after the election which brought Netanyahu to power. "The timing of this request is very bad," says TIME's Johanna McGeary. "Why would the U.S jump into the Middle East before the November elections?
