1. Today's Conference was a psychological success. Here is why-
Alan ,   SA   (06.26.19)
Dont believe media who say it was a flop! Nobody expected Pals to run enthused into the hall TODAY with signed agreements to accept the first part of the deal. However, the finance and encouraging other offers which will be available were placed on the table. before them So now the Pals can see what goodies are on offer.if they play ball..It could be hard to resist.if they really want peace. Therefore if they do truly want peace (which is doubtful), they now have incentives. Also, the Gulf States Egypt Morocco Jordan, etc will ask them why not accept peace in the next phase, given the prospects before them. These States have their own aims and needs and cant have Pal albatross around their necks forever.
2. we will tear it to smithereens, Jerusalem comes always first
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (06.26.19)
3. There is better, more realistic solution.
leo ,   usa   (06.26.19)
Do not give Arabs of WB and Gaza a brass farthing.

Instead give money to Arabs states for every every family of those Arabs taken back.
4. What 2 state solution are Pals talking about?
Sam ,   Montreal   (06.27.19)
The 2 state solution for Israel and the West is a Jewish state and a Palestinian state. What 2 state solution are Palestinians talking about?
5. No Deal
allow_me ,   Canada   (06.27.19)
There won't be a deal so long as the pals have to recognize Israels right to exist.
6. Nobody has the right to create yet another Muslim terrorist-
(06.27.19)
state AND do it on ancient Israel's Land!
Especially some third rate "special envoy" of a "here today-gone tomorrow" President of a far away, foreign power....
It just isn't done folks.
7. Most "Palestinians" want to leave. Help them!
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.27.19)
Most "Palestinians" want to leave our land. They have been telling pollsters this for decades. The best peace plan is to help them do so. Investing in "Palestinian" departure is a one time investment with permanent returns. It is win/win for Israel and "Palestinians".
8. There's someone repeatedly posting about the "Palestinians"
Bertram ,   London, UK.   (06.28.19)
However, the name escapes me. Apparently, this person states that increasing numbers of these "Palestinians" want to leave the East Bank (aka Judea and Samaria). So, it would be very helpful to see the evidence for this because I have yet to come across such evidence, unless the "Palestinians" are a different group from the Palestinians - which is quite possible. The other interesting proposition is that these "Palestinians" will be given financial incentives to leave (to go where?). It would be interesting to know how this would be costed - who will pay and how will it be paid?
