Who are Israel's partners for peace?
In Gaza, Hamas is in charge. In Judea and Samaria (the so-called West Bank), the Palestinian Authority is in charge, with Abbas in the 15th year of a four-year term as leader. Both groups hate each other.
If Israel and the PA make peace, Hamas will attack the PA and probably win, placing another terrorist entity on Israel's eastern border. If Israel and Hamas make peace, the PA won't go for it. The PA knows its only hope of survival is the status-quo.
Neither Hamas nor the PA are willing to drop their demands that Israel cease to exist ("from the river to the sea"
. Therefore, Israel will never have a peace partner.
