Re: Is the Palestinian Leadership Straying from the Peace Path? G-Man,
As I have argued in the past, reciprocity is key to success with respect to agreements. One side simply cannot reasonably expect that when it fails to honor its obligations that the other side will do so. That's the way human nature is.
In my opinion, if the Palestinians seek Israel to let's say cease new settlement construction, the Palestinians will need to give Israel something substantive in return e.g., something to address Israel's security needs such as initiating a campaign to disarm Hamas, among other options. |
