Because there isn't a hope of a permanent solution that deals with Palestinian Statehood and Israel security UNLESS Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank ACT AS ONE Trying to embark on negotiations with JUST Palestinians in the West Bank to the exclusion of Palestinians in Gaza is a non starter. Otherwise you end up with a 3 State Solution Israel, Palestine A in Gaza and Palestine B in the West Bank with each Palestinian entity vying for dominance and out to spoil and undermine any agreements with Israel of the other And even if a Palestinian State were to be created from a Palestine in two halves connected by a glorified motorway THROUGH ISRAEL what sort of hotch potch of a solution IS THAT..It wouldnt last a few minutes The 1999 PEG Plan conceived by Palestinians in 1999 envisages a Palestine that is CONTIGUOUS, INDEPENDENT and geographically and socially UNIFIED IN ONE PLACE with rich historical and cultural history and links to modern day Palestine and with resources and human capital focused and unified...we CAN build a Palestine even beyond our wildest dreams
