The Palestinians are on the back foot at the moment and that is a great opportunity for Israel’s political leaders to push hard for the resumption of talks and to leverage the fact that the Palestinian leadership continues to reject the very existence of the state of Israel. Our media have paid little attention to John Kerry’s herculanean efforts to get a resumption of peace talks happening. Israel’s spokesmen backed up by its politicians should be making every effort to expose the intransigence of the Palestinians to push toward a resolution of a conflict that will ultimately be in Israel’s best interests. The status quo, although it has been sustained for so long, only give us a false illusion of stability.
