نتنياهو: الوضع الفلسطيني الجديد لن يغير شيئا على الارض

Netanyahu had to say something ... that he lied is no surprise. Acknowledgement by the UN of the Palestinian state gives the Palestinians much more leverage in the talks with Israel.

Membership in the ICC will give the Palestinians an international stage on which to bring Israel to book. The Resistance is now full blown with military, public relations and judicial fronts ...

Israel is being increasingly marginalized and with the implementation of boycotts and social embargoes will suffer ever increasing economical and social isolation.

Agreed, but.......what then, absolutely nothing until Abbas decides that the only way forward is to sit down and hammer out a peace agreement with Israel.

I have "mentioned" before that assuming that I am Israeli is wrong. If you think so why are you willing to break the Lebanese Criminal Code which specifically states the illegality of contact with Israelis.
A 2 state solution with slight border changes was offered to Arafat over 20 years ago and he refused.
Similar offers were made by other Israeli PM's including parts of Jerusalem, Abbas refused.
Why has the PA refused to meet with Israel for over 2 years to at least try and advance the move towards a peace treaty and an independent State of Palestine .
Why does UN Sec-Gen, Ban, not tell both sides that in the not distant future, a month at the most, he is calling a peace conference which will be in a closed off place. If one of the sides refuses to go then we will all know who is to blame. Once there they won't be able to leave until peace is signed.

What about Gaza? The Hamas leadership there refuses to recognise the leagality of the present Palestinian Authority Leadership of President Abbas, and in it's Charter specifically denies the possibility of recognition of Israel. How will the PA overcome these problems ?
