2. Palestinian official: peace prospects dead if Trump moves US
Lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (12.17.16)
How is that any different to the situation now...at least with the status of Jerusalem being acknowledged as the absolute capital of Israel and recognised as such by the US will at the very least ensure that the so called Pals receive a dose of realism when they make their perpetual demands which they know will be totally unacceptable to Israel.
3. Obama encouraged Abbas to develop an ego
zionist forever   (12.17.16)
Obama has spent the past 8 years refusing to stand up to Abbas now now he thinks he is the most important man in the world and is getting ready to start dictating to the next president although I have a feeling Trump will not let the leader of an artificial entity dictate terms to him. That said maybe Abbas wants to do us all a favour and walk away from the French peace conference which Netanyahu has refused to attend.
4. don't be absurd ....
steve springer   (12.18.16)
Until the Palestinians unify there will never be a two-state solution. Israel does their best to keep Hamas and the PA from unifying. It is an endless cycle. If you anticipate any peace process happening ...... you are a dreamer. Just move on.
5. Is that the same peace prospect from Gaza, like missles?
David ,   Haifa   (12.18.16)
I like the idea of a wall, good fences make good neighbors.
6. Trump's in power. Hilly's going to jail...
JVC ,   LA, USA   (12.18.16)
There's a new sheriff in town. The liberal/progressive descent into Hell stops now. Violence rules the day and this issue will only be solved through violence and subsequent population transfers. Peace was given a chance and it doesn't work. Time for what works.
7. There is no peace process
Lepke Buchalter ,   USA   (12.18.16)
There is no peace process, there never was. Palestinians don't want peace. They want all the Jews dead. Palestinian participation was only a ploy for time in the hopes of western money and eventually becoming strong enough to overpower Israel and kill it's citizens. See what they say on their own web sites to each other not what they tell western media. Recognize what they're saying, not what you want to hear.
8. The peace prospects?
rom ,   Israel   (12.18.16)
Mr. Erekat, until you cease indoctrinating your children with hate against us, and your intention to destroy all of us, there will be no hope of any peace prospects between you and us.

there is no peace process, only war process.
10. the invented people are threatening Donald Trump
C   (12.18.16)
they have not realized yet that in less than a month obama will be gone.
11. mr
moishe   (12.18.16)
another reason as an excuse not to make peace that will never happen because Palestine leaders don't want peace. Trump will not move US embassy that soon as well. he makes big promises and delivers big disappointments in business and soon in government. in any case he will be better than Obama.
12. What difference does it make
Georgia ,   Jerusalem   (12.18.16)
West Jerusalem was never on the negotiating table. Jerusalem will always be the capital of Israel in whatever form it takes (with or without East Jerusalem). So all embassies are welcome to move to the eternal capital of Israel and the Pals don't have a leg to stand on.
13. who is he fooling?
tiki ,   belgium   (12.18.16)
This so called peace process has been dead & buried for years....long before President Trump will move anything.

It's time for big talker Erekat to admit that he & his corrupt leader friends have missed the boat again but......he and his corrupt leader friends haven't suffered one day for it and that's a shame..

Time for the Palestinian Arabs to put these corrupt liars on trial for corruption & enriching themselves with money that doesn't belong to them without any consequences.

When will they finally understand that their leaders only harm them and the future of their children.
14. Plz note, how Ynet always portrays Arab scum by posting most
(12.18.16)
flattering shots of their ugly mugs, while "Bibi" & Co get the "ugly"-treatment.
15. And what have the "palestinians" offered in return, Fatboy?
Angelo D'Mysterioso ,   Here   (12.18.16)
Have you ever even been to Israel, or do you get your brainwashing directly from Al-Jazeera and Ma'an? What have the "palestinians" ever offered to Israel, when the only thing Israel asked for was peace? The "palestinians" couldn't even begin negotiations without first presenting a list of absurd demands. If Bibi was so bad, how well did negotiations go with Rabin, Barak and Olmert? You talk out of your bloated backside!
