Netanyahu's invitation to the head of the PNA

The initiative of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to invite the Knesset, Israel 's parliament , the leader of the Palestinian Authority , Mahmoud Abbas , is a more symbolic gesture , which is animated by real intention to restart the negotiations , a kind of sop in response to U.S. pressure . The invitation , which was launched while he was being the official visit of French President Hollande , also seems an attempt to boost the international image somewhat tarnished , the two statesmen . But in the condition imposed on the head of the PNA , to recognize the state of Israel , without adequate reciprocity : Benjamin Netanyahu said he wanted to recognize Palestine as an autonomous state entity , lies all the weakness of the proposal. Which is even more disingenuous when you consider that the process of colonization of the West Bank , in violation of common sense , as well as the existing agreements, it has not been stopped at all . It seems very strange how Hollande has lent to such a figure , if his intent was to revive its image , especially at home , where he is the president with the lowest approval rating recorded for several years. If Hollande this move has the flavor of despair , the strategy of Benjamin Netanyahu , seems in tune with the behavior that has always adopted towards the Palestinians : to gain time and to allow the colonization of most of the territories as possible , to get to when will be forced by Washington to deal truly presenting a fait accompli situation , in which it will be impossible to go back without the destruction of the colonies , safe destabilization factor of any negotiation. A Netanyahu does not seem to be of interest to reach an agreement , at least in the short term with the Palestinians , how to steal as much territory as possible. At this point, however, the United States must demonstrate to get serious : if the pacification of the Middle East must pass for the accomplishment of the two states , it is time for Washington to act with a change of attitude towards Tel Aviv. Moreover, the proposal made to Abbas seems inadmissible to the Palestinians : the voluntary renunciation of rights in East Jerusalem and the houses and lands confiscated from the Arabs in 1948 , are conditions that they will never have the green light , and the inhabitants of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip , but neither of those million and a half Israeli citizens of Arab origin . The same leadership of Abu Mazen would instantly in the only moment in which to decide to discuss these issues , which are untouchable across the board for all the factions that make up the Palestinian people. As you can see the proposal of Benjamin Netanyahu has been made ​​to be rejected, because it is not supported by the real intention to actually do start negotiations. For Kerry, who will return to Israel in the coming days , the mission of the resumption of negotiations seems increasingly difficult.
