From the standpoint of the Israelis, how exactly are they to negotiate with rabid animals whose basic requirement is the extermination of Israel and ever Jew who populates it? To the Palis, the only subject open for negotiation is how that extermination is to be accomplished.
I can't believe RiV, of all people, messed this up.
The one major foreign policy achievement of the Trump Administration, and maybe of all of his achievements the one most deserving of respect, was the Abraham Accords. Trump and/or his team recognized that if you can't cut a reasonable deal with the unreasonable Palestinians, you just try to cut deals with everybody else in the region. And it worked. He essentially isolated the Palestinians from much of their Arabic support, and Saudi Arabia is even now very clearly still interested in maintaining positive relations with Israel.
