Apparently Abbas ready for direct talks with EU backing along these lines.

The Quartet says Israel should halt settlement building in the West Bank and reach a full peace agreement with the Palestinians within 24 months, creating a state on the basis of the borders that existed before the 1967 Middle East war.
But yesterday, Netanyahu rejected peace talks based on 1967 borders and any other preconditions.
Ron Breiman recommends that Israel Probe the ‘peace process’. He is absolutely right. The purpose of an enquirey is to identify how wrong decisions were made like Oslo and Roadmap, and to recommend a better decision making process with transparency and debate.
Instead of probing flotilla incident, Israel should focus on truly momentous failures
BB won’t be around long enough to implement any of those scenarios. All of his enemies are waiting for him to cross that invisible line. He came close with the freeze but that was near the beginning of his term . All new MK in order to receive a full pension must serve at least 25 months. Half of a full term, we are close to that now.
Netanyahu rejects 1967 borders, sort of:
Today’s reports are that Netanyahu now likes a “long-term” interim peace agreement that gives the palis 90% of the West Bank, but Israel gets to keep Jerusalem and the major settlement blocs (which I assume are Ariel, Maale Adumim, and Gush Etzion).
This means that Netanyahu is willing to ethnically cleanse the West Bank of the 50,000 Jews living in small settlements scattered throughout the West Bank.
This rings true to me. There appears to be a consensus among secular Israelis, both right and left, that this is the best they can do, given the unrelenting pressure against Jewish Israel from the goyim, and the dislike of all secular Jews for Jews who still believe in the King of the Universe.
Can this plan fly among the settlers? There are four scenarios: 1) everyone leaves without a fight 2) an inital resistance is met with massive force, and then eveyone leaves peacefully 3) civil war 4) Netanyahu simply abandons the 50,000 Jews to the muslim savages.
All of the plans like these start out as trial ballons, and then go nowhere, because of rejection either from the muslims or the Jews. Abbas may accept this one, though, because it is only an “interim plan” that gives Abbas a lot, and yet does not prevent further Jewish concessions to reach a “final solution.”
Breiman approaches this like a quality control engineer whose job is to identify discrete management or operational failures in a production line. The problem is not one for a quality control engineer but for a psychiatrist who can explain why the left has learned nothing from their colossal and repeated blunders and why the rest of the Jews listen to them.
Actually, we already have the answer.
