Fredsförhanlingarna kommer mycket snart att återupptas säger israeliska ministern Dan Meridor.
'Resumption of peace talks very close' (Jerusalem Post)
"Israel is "very close" to making a deal to restart negotiations with the Palestinians, Intelligence Minister Dan Meridor said Sunday.
He endorsed the possibility of talking about final-status issues, such as Jerusalem, as part of those negotiations even though Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has been resisting doing so, but Meridor cautioned against building expectations too high as a result. "

Haaretz fruktar att Fatah kommer att återuppta självmordbombningarna och beskriver situationen såhär:
Israel worried Fatah may resume suicide attacks
"1. Israeli-Palestinian negotiations are stuck. The PA has climbed up too high a tree; when American pressure managed to force Israel to contain its building in the West Bank, it demanded a complete freeze in settlements as a precondition for resuming the negotiations with the Netanyahu government.
2. A dead end between Fatah and Hamas. Even the Egyptian mediators are now refusing to name a new date for a meeting of the Palestinian factions so a reconciliation agreement can be signed. Hamas' list of excuses for refusing is bordering on the absurd.
3. An internal crisis in Fatah. The situation in Fatah is not necessarily better. A survey published yesterday by the Jerusalem Media and Communications Center shows that only 12.1 percent of those asked trust Abbas. The Hamas prime minister in the Gaza Strip, Ismail Haniyeh, received 14.2 percent support.
4. Israeli hesitation. The behavior of the PA on the issues mentioned, along with the improved capabilities of its security forces and the fear this could turn, one day, against Israelis, have raised questions among the political and IDF leadership on the wisdom of further efforts to bolster the PA."

Medan politikerna gör sina utspel talar man fortfarande i palestinsk TV om Israel som ockuperat palestinsk territoium.


Child: "I'm from Palestine."
Host: "From where in Palestine? We're all from Palestine."
Child: "I'm from Lod [Israeli city]."
Host: "Oh, Lod is a very, very beautiful city. Anyone who goes there is so lucky! Do you really go in and out of Lod?" [from the PA to Israel]
Child: "But they [Israelis] have occupied it."
Host: "You mean you are from Lod, but you live here [in Ramallah]. Never mind, my dear. Allah willing, the day will come when we will return to Lod and to all the areas they have occupied."
