Doubt cast over Middle East peace drive
Analysis
JERUSALEM, Israel - The path to Middle East peace, already strewn with an array of daunting obstacles, has now got one more hurdle to overcome.
Israel's right-leaning coalition government this week passed a law that will probably force a referendum on any peace deal that involves withdrawing from land annexed by Israel, including East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, captured from Syria.
Palestinians and Syrians have howled in protest, saying that Israel was obliged by international law to return land seized in a 1967 war and had no right to put the matter to a public vote.
