After earlier reports said that the Palestinian Authority was considering suspending all security cooperation with Israel in the wake of Binyamin Netanyahu's reelection, the PA officially announced Wednesday night that it was hoping to renew talks with Israel, regardless of who was Prime Minister.
Nabil Abu-Rudeineh, the PA's official spokesperson, said that the PA has “no interest in the disposition of Israel's Prime Minister. The only thing we are interested in from any Israeli government is the recognition and acceptance of the two-state solution, with Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian state.”
At a press conference in Ramallah, Abu-Rudeineh said that acceptance of the two state solution was the only basis of negotiation with Israel.

It sort of looks like Netanyahu is getting ready to RESTART NEGOTIATIONS with the Palestinian Authority opinion regards to a Two-State Solution (namely the Oslo Accords and subsequent agreements from 20 years ago).
It looks like that is going to start up again, in spite of the announcement that Netanyahu made just prior to the election, saying that if he was re-elected as Prime Minister, he would never allow a Palestinian State.
I think that campaign promise is history ... :-) ... but it did get him re-elected!
After Elections, Netanyahu Loyalist Says Israel ‘Delighted’ to Renew Palestinian Talks [Israel]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3269421/posts
Israel’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Tzachi Hanegbi (Likud) said yesterday in an interview that the new government is willing to return to the negotiation table with the Palestinians.
“We would be delighted to renew the negotiations,” Hanegbi said in an interview with the Israel Project. “We believe it is in the interest of both people– the Israeli and the Palestinian– to have a dialogue; to discuss our disputes; to try and find [a] common denominator in the issues that are so crucial to both people.”
Hanegbi, a Netanyahu loyalist, also said that the new government will begin an intense effort to renew the trust between the United States and Israel.
“We will make an effort, a very, very intimate and intense effort to renew the trust between the governments,” said the deputy foreign minister. “It is essential for the security of Israel. It is essential for the survival of the state of Israel.”
Hanegbi’s words are significant in light of Netanyahu’s vocal opposition this week to the establishment of a Palestinian state. The hostility of the Obama Administration towards Netanyahu was also widely reported in the weeks leading up the Israeli election.

WELL ... I do know that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that there would NEVER be Palestinian State on his watch, if he was re-elected as Prime Minister. And that was a DRAMATIC change of policy by Netanyahu, given just hours before the election started!
Perhaps what Netanyahu intends to do now is simply TALK ... and never agree to a state ... LOL ...
I have my own plan for solving the Pali problem. Shoot every male 16 and older and push the rest of them across the Lebanon border and let Hezbollah take care of them.
On the other hand maybe we should obliterate Hezbollah first. Choices.. choices...
Good thing I’m not king.

Build up relations with India and recognize a greater Kurdish state, boundaries to be determined by negotiations. And then announce alliance with Greater Kurdistan, and refuse to negotiate any Palestinian state unless international recognition of a Kurdish State is tied to the outcome. Two peoples, two states, after all.
