"The feeling here is that they don't want to talk to us," said an Israeli Foreign Ministry official. "They've gone to Amman in a desire to be seen to be cooperating but with the intent of reaching Jan. 26, when they can say the talks have failed and they can go back to their original plan, which is the internationalization of the conflict."
