It sort of looks like Netanyahu is getting ready to RESTART NEGOTIATIONS with the Palestinian Authority opinion regards to a Two-State Solution (namely the Oslo Accords and subsequent agreements from 20 years ago).

It looks like that is going to start up again, in spite of the announcement that Netanyahu made just prior to the election, saying that if he was re-elected as Prime Minister, he would never allow a Palestinian State.

I think that campaign promise is history ... :-) ... but it did get him re-elected!

After Elections, Netanyahu Loyalist Says Israel ‘Delighted’ to Renew Palestinian Talks [Israel]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3269421/posts

Israel’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Tzachi Hanegbi (Likud) said yesterday in an interview that the new government is willing to return to the negotiation table with the Palestinians.

“We would be delighted to renew the negotiations,” Hanegbi said in an interview with the Israel Project. “We believe it is in the interest of both people– the Israeli and the Palestinian– to have a dialogue; to discuss our disputes; to try and find [a] common denominator in the issues that are so crucial to both people.”

Hanegbi, a Netanyahu loyalist, also said that the new government will begin an intense effort to renew the trust between the United States and Israel.

“We will make an effort, a very, very intimate and intense effort to renew the trust between the governments,” said the deputy foreign minister. “It is essential for the security of Israel. It is essential for the survival of the state of Israel.”

Hanegbi’s words are significant in light of Netanyahu’s vocal opposition this week to the establishment of a Palestinian state. The hostility of the Obama Administration towards Netanyahu was also widely reported in the weeks leading up the Israeli election.

Getting back into dialogue with an enemy doesn't necessarily mean that they are going to end up giving up any land.

There is always the hope that the enemy may understand the truth, probably won't happen, but there is a greater chance if they are speaking.

I think Bibi has learned a lot over this last election.

I believe in a two state solution. After Israel destroys Iran, the Palis should be ‘invited’ with prejudice, to relocate to what remains of Iran, to be known as New Palestine. Israel ‘taking back’ Gaza and the West Bank. Two states: Israel and New Palestine.

First have them declare Israel’s right to exist and see how far that gets you.

There are over a dozen Muslim nations surrounding Israel; why can’t the “Palestinians” find a home in one of those sh-tholes?

Nothing in the A7 article came even close to your analysis. Are you making stuff up to go along with the leftists again? Or is this more of your "support" for Netanyahu - calling him a liar?

If I was Natanyahu, I would tell the PA, that s two state solution will be available IF the PA write a constitution that calls for democracy, free market and denounces ISIS and terrorism.

Then I think you'll see a second thriving country in the ME...

Would the PA accepts it?

Neither Netanyahu, the US, Obama, nor the muslim terrorists will decide what happens in and to the land that God gave in perpetuity to Israel's father Abraham, God settled that matter 4000 years ago. The middle ages church taught that God's promise was negated by Israel's rejection of Jesus as it's promised Messiah, and that the nation of Israel ceased to exist in 70AD when it was destroyed by Rome and it's people were driven from their promised land. But it's teaching was badly mistaken, God's promise was unconditional and He doesn't break His promises.

BTW, the land promised to Abraham is much, much larger than the present state of Israel. Israel's promised land extends from the river of Egypt, aka the Nile, to the Euphrates, see Genesis ch15 v18. That promise seems almost impossible to be fulfilled in today's world, but then so did His promise that Israel's people would be regathered to their God-given homeland after many centuries of exile among all the nations of the world.

We've long known what elite political folks in the shadows want as differentiated from the public political speech sponsored by them. The following is about what working class America wants.
