There's nothing to "negotiate" because the US and Israel have rejected every Arab peace proposal since 1976:
"The basic terms of the international consensus on the Arab-Israel conflict were expressed in a resolution brought to the
Security Council in January 1976, calling for a settlement on the pre-June 1967 borders (the Green Line) with 'appropriate arrangements...to guarantee...the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of all states in the area and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries,' including Israel and a new Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
"The resolution was backed by Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and the PLO -- in fact 'prepared' by the PLO according to Israel's UN Ambassador Haim Herzog, now President. It was strenuously opposed by Israel and vetoed by the United States, once again in 1980.
"These events are -- automatically -- out of history, along with other facts unacceptable to US power, including repeated PLO initiatives through the 1980s calling for negotiations with Israel leading to mutual recognition... "
There is nothing to " negotiate" because it calls for Israel to make ALL the concessions. When two or more parties " negotiate" it means that BOTH ( or more ) parties have to be willing to compromise sonewhere along the way. Exactly what are the Palestinians willing to do? Oh.. I forgot. The answer is NOTHING.
In addition to insisting that Israel return to boundries that they NEVER recognized in the first place the " Saudi Peace Plan" and Abbas are demanding " Right of Return". Just more proof that the 1967 Boundries never meant anything before 1967 and don't mean anything now.
You are nothing but a Stupid Pro- Palestinian with a demented I.Q ( doubt you even have one) Keep drinking the Kool- Aid
In all fairness to Abbas, he recently said that Israel belongs to the Israelis (sounds like recognition) and that,
in his mind, the right of return is negotiable. Of course, the duly elected gov't of the "Palestinians" disagrees and slammed Abbas for having the temerity to offer some hope for a peaceful solution:
Stung by mounting criticism – including a rally in Gaza where protesters set fire to his portrait – the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, back-pedalled yesterday on his historic compromise over the "right of return" for Palestinian refugees – a major sticking-point in Middle East peace-making.
In a TV interview last week, Mr Abbas said he no longer had an automatic right to return to live in Safed, in northern Galilee where he was born in 1935, now part of Israel.
"It's my right to see it, but not to live there ..."
Following the criticism, Mr Abbas told Egyptian television he had been expressing his personal views, not official policy. "What I said about Safed is my personal stance."

Below is what Abbas actually said. He is not changing his mind or position on the " Right of Return". Let them keep demanding Borders that they never recognized plus " Right of RETURN". It will get them no where
Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas appeared to concede the "right of return" on Friday, as we reported. The remark was a shock to Palestinians, for whom the demand that they be able to return to their ancestral homes in Israel has been a foundational demand for the two-state negotiations, and many called him a "traitor." However, on Sunday Abbas reversed himself, saying that his previous remarks were only "personal," not applicable to all Palestinians:
"Talking about Safad is a personal position and does not mean giving up the right of return.
No one can give up the right of return as all international texts and Arab and Islamic decisions refer to a just and agreed solution to the refugee issue, according to U.N. Resolution 194, with the term ‘agreed on’ meaning agreed with the Israeli side.
I do not change my position – what I say to the Palestinians is no different from what I say to the Israelis or the Americans or anyone."
