We all know the reason why there is peace: because there has never been a Palestinian leader who could credibly offer peace to Israel. Some thought Arafat was such a leader, but that is doubtful, and certainly there is no such Palestinian now or likely to be one in the foreseeable future.
TOOMUCHTIME
Your post proved my whole point for me.
"There has never been a Palestinian leader who could" accept the West Bank and Gaza as a final agreement for the conflict because the entire palestinian people rejects the partition of their homeland.
The moment any palestinian leader, even Arafat, compromises even a square inch of Palestine they will be delegitimized in the eyes of the palestinian people.
"In the foreseeable future" is just toomuchtime's delicate way to say
"never".
