(Institute for National Security Studies-Tel Aviv University) Shlomo Brom - It is important to recognize that resumption of actual negotiations has not been agreed on, and that this depends on the successful conclusion of the "talks about talks" in Washington. There are still likely to be many obstacles, such as a lack of agreement on the agenda and the order of topics to be discussed; a Palestinian demand that the Arab Peace Initiative serve as the basis for the talks; and possible differing interpretations of the understandings with Kerry, which could thwart the resumption of the negotiations. Both parties believe that the gaps between their positions are wide, and therefore, from their perspectives, there is no chance that the other party will accept an agreement that suits its minimum conditions. In fact, they were dragged into negotiations in which they have no faith. It is hard to believe that the talks will be concluded successfully when the American mediator wants them to succeed more than the parties themselves. Brig. Gen. (ret.) Shlomo Brom, a senior research associate at INSS, served as Deputy National Security Advisor. 2013-07-25 00:00:00Full Article
