I won’t say this deal isn’t historic. But I’m afraid it fails miserably in that it includes partitioning the land, which is absolutely forbidden.
The last time The Quartet officially reaffirmed their commitment to a Palestinian state within the borders of Israel, the Dow fell 777 points. We should be very careful what we insist on committing to.
It does not partition the land.
It puts a hold on annexation, until 2024 - at which time President Trump would still be in office, if re-elected.
He would then be negotiating with Palestinians who hold far fewer cards.
