Another way of looking at the road map

Ze'ev Schiff gives us Another way of looking at the road map

The behavior of the Palestinians since the publication of the "road map," and particularly after the achievement of the cease-fire between the Palestinian Authority and Israel, arouses the suspicion that Israel is a partner to laying the foundations of a terrorist state to be called Palestine - a state that will in fact reach an agreement with Israel, but will continue the war against it by means of various Palestinian organizations, claiming that the conflict has not ended.

If the road map can be salvaged, it will have to be fixed:

The necessary amendments: No transition from one stage of the "map" to the next without Israel's agreement - and not the agreement of the Quartet alone. Second, whatever hasn't been implemented in one stage is not to be transferred for implementation in the next stage. Third, a Palestinian state will be established after the basic problems have been solved. And primarily, that the establishment of the state will be considered part of the elimination of the "right of return" to Israel, which is defined as a Jewish state.

Read the whole thing.
