Premiärminister Netanyahu berörde i går i ett tal vad som är egentliga orsaken till att fredsförhandlingarna inte kommer igång.
PM: Peace will depend on Palestinian acceptance of Israel (Jerusalem Post)
"The only way to end the negotiations for peace is to begin them,"
Netanyahu said, "We're ready to negotiate peace without preconditions
now, we're only 15 minutes away from Ramallah, there's no reason on
earth why we couldn't negotiate."
"This conflict predates 1967 by almost half a century, it predates
the settlements," he said, explaining what he believes is the
underlining problem. "Why did this conflict rage from 1920 with the
first Palestinian Arab attacks on the Jewish immigration office in
Jaffa, what was that all about?"
Answering his own question,
Netanyahu said those attacks resulted from "an opposition to a Jewish
state in any boundaries" even before the formation of the state.
Following the 1948 Declaration of Independence "there was an attempt to
put out the life of the Jewish state in the War of Independence and in
wars that followed."
"Ultimately, it's the willingness of the Palestinians to accept the
right of the Jewish people to live in their ancient homeland that will
determine the success of the peace talks," Netanyahu said, concluding
that Israel reaching peace with all of its neighbors is the tomorrow he
wishes for.
