"MIDEAST PEACE: TIME FOR A FRESH START?" US Secretary of State John Kerry is trying to rekindle the Middle East peace process that has been largely dormant for several years. China is taking a more active role in resolving the issues between Israel and the Palestinians offering a four point peace proposal to bring peace and stability to the region. On this week's edition of "On the Line", we talk about the efforts to revive the peace process and prospects for peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
