US Secretary of State John Kerry will offer Israeli and Palestinian negotiators a political trade-off: Israeli recognition of the 1967 lines as a basis for the future Palestinian state, in return for Palestinian recognition of Israel as the state of the Jewish people, Palestinian sources told the Saudi daily Al-Watan on Sunday.
According to the sources, the mutual recognition will constitute the core of a framework agreement to be signed by the end of January, and negotiated in greater detail during the following months.
“The coming weeks will be difficult for the Palestinian and Israeli sides, since they will need to make tough decisions,” a source told Al-Watan. “On the one hand, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will need to live with a text speaking of the 1967 borders, and the Palestinians, for their part, will need to live with a text speaking of Israel’s Jewishness.”

The PA supposedly already did this in exchange for the Oslo Accords.
Any agreement with them is absolutely worthless.
There is not now, nor has there ever been a people or nation called Palestinians. They are Muslim Arabs and already have a state. It’s called Jordan.
It will blow up in Kerry’s fAce when Isreal bombs the crap out of Iran!
100% right!
Any Palestinian leader who signs an agreement acknowledging Israel as a Jewish state has signed his own death warrant.
It shouldn't be a difficult decision at all for Israel to tell John F'n to sit and spin.
So Israel is to trade strategic land for a simple lie?
The more I think about it the more I think a major ME war is the only way Israel will be able to eliminate all her enemies once and for all. ... Then there might be a period of real peace.
I pray the book of Obadiah over this situation.
And I pray that Israel wake up and realize she can’t trust ANY outside peace treaties from any nation. There is only ONE she should trust because in Him is her salvation. This treaty will only beat her up, tear off her clothes, and leave her cold, hungry, and naked.
Allah lovers believe in beating their wives. Israel will be no different. Neither do they respect their children. They send them off to die after they beat their mothers. If they aren’t killing and battering, they are using them for sexual pleasure. Israel’s children will fare even worse under them.
Heck, they don’t even respect each other.
I hope Bibi remains strong for Israel’s sake.
For how long?
Quoting Sarah Palin, “Why the long face, John?”
Another joke. How many prime ministers? How many PA “leaders”? How many promises?
There remains still ONLY ONE SOLUTION to this issue. Nothing has changed.
I've always been an unqualified supporter of the 1967 lines-- JULY, 1967, that is...

Very interesting.
Never going to happen!
The Palestinian Arabs are already on record as rejecting recognition of Israel as the Jewish State.
In any case, a truncated 10 mile wide Israel is utterly indefensible. If this is the price for a peace deal, better no peace at all than putting Israel’s entire coast within Arab rocket range.
If you liked the Gaza Disengagement, you’ll love this purported deal that would have Israel give up control of the Jordan Valley and Judean-Samarian mountain range - for a piece of paper.
Thanks but no thanks!
What muslim ground??
The area was Jewish for millennia before moha-mutt's great great great great great granddaddy ever existed...
If the PA agrees that Israel is a legit nation and they recognize it as such, it will be with crossed fingers behind their backs. Militant Islam will not allow it to happen.
The BIG man upstairs not gonna like this...at all.
It's an impressive list.
As long or longer than the list of "spending cuts" that the Dim-o-Crats and Obamarxists have promised for the late 21st Century...
It's a muslim thing.
Can you say Joel 3:2?
