"The Palestinians have set three impossible conditions: that the negotiations start from the point they left off at the end of 2008 when Ehud Olmert
was prime minister, that they be based on a total Israeli withdrawal to the 1967 lines and that the freeze of [settlement] construction continue,"
Shalom was quoted as saying." Lets take a look at these three conditions.
1. That the negotiations start where they left off during the previous Israeli administration.
Many things were already agreed to. Starting over with each new Israeli government shows Israel is not really interested in peace only
negotiations.
2. withdrawal to the 1967 armistice lines.
These are the lines recognized by the world community. UN Res 242 suggests these lines are negotiable but those are essentially the
lines.
3. The settlement freeze should continue during negotiations.
Settlements are contrary to International Law so why should the Palestinians negotiate while Israel is breaking the law.
IF the Israelis conform with International law and conventions peace will come.
Israel has never kept her word which is why there is no trust.
