Many times it seemed like peace talks between Israel and Palestinian Authority were approaching a point when something will develop, something leading to peace or at least some stabilization.
It was never so, and, sadly, it never could be so, and I will try to show you why I think so.
As I have written few times before, for example here, the goal of the Palestinian authorities has never been peace.
PLO was created BEFORE 6-days war, when Judea and Samaria were in Jordanian borders, but it was NOT directed against Jordan, no, from the very beginning its aim was the destruction of Israel. In later years when 'peace talks' with Palestinians seemed to approach some stage when decision making was expected they were invariably broken and invariably by the Palestinian side (either directly or by expressing "preconditions" that could never be met). True peace talks took part with Jordan (and peace was achieved) and with Egypt (with the same result). So why is it impossible with PA?
Let me remind you that the first war aimed at Israel's destruction, not even 24 hours after her birth, was staged by 7 Arab armies but the plot behind it was by one side (not that the others were not involved but they just went in a way along) - it was this man. And his Arab Legion was the most viscous and cruel fighter in that war. And he is one of ascendants of both Arafat and Abbas. PA is in a way a family thing and its creator is a Nazi criminal.
Also, the whole way the power is executed in the Palestinian Territory is based on being against Israel. It is not about creating the independent and able to survive economically state, it is not about creating workforce able to give people stability, work, and taxes (in place of international help it lives on now) for the state to fulfill its mission. It is not about freedom for its future citizens (as it is Arabs living in Israel enjoy infinitely more freedom than those under Palestinian authority and they never move away). Neither their rights. It is all about destruction of Israel. They teach in (UN sponsored) schools that the whole body of Israel should be Palestine, they never show Israel on maps, they name the streets and squares after terrorists and suicide bombers, they pay rents (with EU money) to the families of suicide terrorists, their whole building of power is based on being against Israel, and never, even as an addition, on what positive they want for their people. Do you really believe they are prepared to give it up? Together with power and money? After saying plainly that they won't even grant citizenship to Palestinian refugees because it would corrupt the preached like prophecy "right of return" (of all descendents of people who left Israel during 1948 war) to "their"homes". Nobody wanting to remember the facts about all refugees of that war. No - there is no way of the PA authorities, corrupted, authoritarian to keep power on the basis of what they want for their people, there is only - sadly - the hate against Israel and Jews, the only glue they kept and cherished with the Palestinian population throughout the years.
And as they can't afford peace with Israel without risking loose of power and accusations for treason (after all those years of propaganda they have built their power upon) they have to keep "peace talks" ineffectual. And they do!
Here is the Washington Post story from today about breaking the "peace talks" (by now I presume you know why quotation mark, if one side has to be determined not to achieve the pronounce goal it has to be theater not talks). Fatah (that is negotiating) has announced its reconciliation with Hamas. They tried few times but it is just few times less possible than Republicans and Democrats 're-conciliating' into one political party. So no story will follow these announcements. The Only goal of these talks of Fatah and Hamas is to break the negotiations with Israel. Israel receives on nearly daily basis rockets from Gaza launched by Hamas. Truly, they rarely cause injuries or loss of life but not because, as want some BDS activists, because they are incapable of it and just a bit more dangerous than fireworks. They are deadly! Yet the communities in Israel bordering with Gaza have pillboxes for everyone, good drill, early warning systems and Iron Dome. Yet children of those communities are suffering from nervous breakdowns and sometimes shall-shock from the early stages of life :( . Hamas is considered (and for a good reason) terrorist organization by Israel, the USA, Canada and the EU. It never ever concealed its goal to bring about new Holocaust.
Is it possible to negotiate with it? No. Is it possible to negotiate with Fatah on its (declared) way to 're-reconcile' with Hamas? NO!
So, Fatah, needing one more time excuse for breaking talks (and optimally possible to blame on Israel, yes, technically it was Israel who walked out of negotiations) decided to announce its 're-conciliation' with Hamas. Few weeks down the road we will hear that 'unfortunately' the results are not what was expected.
