Carter willing to mediate talks between Israel, Palestinians if asked

UPPSALA, SWEDEN - Former President Jimmy Carter says he&#39;s willing to mediate peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians, but only if they and the U.S. government ask him to. <br> <br> Carter, who spoke to students at the University of Uppsala in Sweden, gave no indication he had been asked to mediate. <br> <br> Carter helped broker the 1978 Camp David accords that led to peace between Israel and Egypt. The agreement resulted in the Nobel Peace Prize for Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Carter was not nominated then, but won the Peace Prize this year.
