"... Avigdor is out to sabotage the peace talks? So in other words, if current peace efforts fail it will be Israel's fault. Have you not read Abbas' remarks made this morning to Palestinian press saying he doesn't feel any need on his part to compromise on refugee question, settlements, 67 borders, recognizing Israel as a Jewish state, division of Jerusalem etc etc? But of course if talks fail it will be Israel's fault.
As shrewd analysts in Israel always try to point out to the West which the West seems inclined to always ignore: it doesn't matter what Palestinian negotiators say to the western or world press - listen to what they say in their own language to the Palestinian and Arab press if you want a true picture of things.
Now, as to why the West insists on ignoring this rather obvious impediment when discussing the state of negotiations... well, I think we can take a few good guesses as to what that's about..."
