This is because the conflict has NOTHING to do with the establishment of (yet another) Palestinian state. It is ALL about tHe destruction of Israel. It is that and ONLY that that is their goal. Anyone that caters to the PLO dialogue is facilitating that goal. From the Vision for Israel update today. A-SISI OFFERED ABBAS: CREATE PALESTINIAN STATE IN SINAI: On August 31, PLO chief and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told an audience of Fatah members that Egypt had offered to give the PA some 1,600 kilometers of land in Sinai adjacent to Gaza, thus quintupling the size of the Gaza Strip. Egypt even offered to allow all the so-called “Palestinian refugees” to settle in the expanded Gaza Strip. Then Abbas told his Fatah followers that he rejected the Egyptian offer. According to Army Radio, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah A-Sisi proposed that the Palestinians establish their state in the expanded Gaza Strip and accept limited autonomy over parts of Judea & Samaria. In exchange for this state, the Palestinians would give up their demand that Israel shrink into the indefensible 1949 armistice lines, surrendering Jerusalem, Judea & Samaria. Sisi argued that the land Egypt is offering in Sinai would more than compensate for the territory that Abbas would concede. In his speech to Fatah members, Abbas said, “The Egyptians are prepared to receive all the refugees, and are saying, ‘Let’s end the refugee story.’” However, Abbas insisted, “It’s illogical for the problem to be solved at Egypt’s expense. We won’t have it.” In other words, Sisi offered Abbas a way to end the Palestinians’ suffering and grant them political independence. And Abbas said, “No, forget statehood. Let them suffer.” Abbas rejected it because if Israel is not weakened by their good fortune, then the Palestinians should continue to suffer. (J. Post)
