Benjamin Netanyu speaks at Herzilya conference
Though most of his conference ending speech dealt with education the prime minister did address upcoming possible negotiations with the Palestinians. The Palestinian prime minister also spoke at this conference a few days before. Judging from what he said it is difficult to understand what will the point of the negotiations. That is if there will be negotiations. Right now there are negotiations on how to start indirect negotiations. If that works then there will be indirect negotiations on how to start direct negotiations. If that works then there will be negotiations.
If after all that negotiations do start they will likely stall almost immediately as the sides are so far from each other that negotiations may lead to war and not peace.
The Arab side demands a complete withdrawal to pre 1967 borders including East Jerusalem and Israel will never agree to that condition. Israel demands to keep hold of certain strategic areas in Judea and Samaria and the Palestinian side will not accept hat under any circumstance.
It’s a lot of work to get to negotiations that will go nowhere at best or lead to war at worst
