| So both Israel and Hamas are too proud and arrogant to talk to each other. So what? They are clearly in communications through Egypt, and can talk by mutual consent through Abbas. Indeed Hamas has stated it would Accept ANY negotiated peace that Abbas accomplished given that the Palestinian people endorsed it by popular vote. And all polls show that Palestinians would overwhelmingly support any deal Abbas negotiated. The question comes down to a rather stark one. Does Israel want a peace agreement with Palestine negotiated with the most accommodating negotiator it will ever have? Or doesn`t it? And the answer is that Israel doesn`t know what it wants, or how it can achieve it. It isn`t a matter of Israel talking to Hamas. It is a problem of Israel talking to Israel. |
