Peace based on illusion is catastrophous
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met with United States President Barack Obama on Friday, one day after Obama gave a speech on the Middle East in which he called for a new Arab state in Judea and Samaria “based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed upon swaps.” Netanyahu openly stated his own views on the Israeli-Arab conflict, and warned, “A peace based on illusions will crash eventually on the rocks of Middle Eastern reality.”Gene Simmons has spoken about this whole subject too on NBC:
During the meeting Netanyahu flatly rejected the possibility of basing the borders of a Palestinian Authority-led Arab state on the “1967 lines,” or 1949 armistice line.
“While Israel is prepared to make generous compromises for peace, it cannot go back to the 1967 lines,” he said. “These lines are indefensible, because they don't take into account certain changes that have taken place on the ground, demographic changes.”
Netanyahu also brought up the problem of Hamas, reiterating that Israel has no intention of negotiating with the terrorist group. The PA is currently under joint Fatah-Hamas leadership; the Hamas charter calls to destroy Israel and force Islamic law upon Israel and ultimately, the world.

The Palestinians are on their way to rekindle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It should bring Israel and the US closer together since Abbas has rejected both by joining with Hamas.
