Of course there is no progress, ending the conflict means no more gravy train from the rest of the world for either israel or palis.
Palis insist on right of return, zionists insist on keeping their settlements...nothing is going to happen.
As I offered in another thread where I thought, momentarily, progress was being made on negotiations, how about palis give up right of return, israel gives up it's settlements, and give to palis who lost their land and businesses in '48 and '67....wait for it...the settlements?
The entire mideast conflict solved in one fell swoop.
Also, israel gets w jerusalem, palis east jerusalem, central jerusalem administered under international control.
