Yeah. Not an impediment for the Israelis. At the end of the day, the ball is in Israel’s court whether they like it or not. Anything that gets done is going to be the result of Israel taking the lead in this process. They have the power.

And right now, they are using the power to create facts on the ground. Increased settlements, this “heritage sites” debacle, all of it furthering their control over Palestinian lands. Either they relinquish power eventually, or they continue to leave the Palestinians fenced off, impoverished and angry. It’s their call.

Yeah, how did relinquishing control in Gaza work out?
