Is Netanyahu Compromising the Peace Process?
Yossi Alpher, fmr dir, Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies | March 15, 2010
Leaders claim they want to bring about peace and stability between Israel and Palestine, but they haven’t demonstrated their commitment to it. ++ Netanyahu’s actions are compromising any chance at constructive dialogue with Palestine. ++ Neither Israel nor Palestine seem ready to make the necessary concessions for a successful 2-state solution. ++ For the peace process to progress, there needs to be more support for a “state-building program in the West Bank,“ and Israel needs to accept that Hamas won’t be going away anytime soon.

As long as this goes on peace talks will only be a big bad joke on the cost of Palestinianes.
Hamas is also a very important factor in the equasion that Israeli leaders have always ignored with fatale cosequences.
Isn't time for the Israeli leaders to aknowladge that they'd be better off respecting the other side insted of ignoring it? How many Arab peace preposals where there even from the Saudi Arabian side to recognize the State of Israel if the borders of 1976 are accepted...But this met only on deaf ears...
