Accepting this thinking would mean an end to the present peace process. Some argue that without Israel the Palestinian Authority could not hold its weekly session, so the Israeli weight is tremendous. Others say that the international community can force Palestinian to their knees by turning off the financial donor faucet. In the final analysis, a decision about the final status of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict will be made. On the Palestinian side, a variety of external and internal forces will attempt to weigh in on the Palestinian leadership.
Leaders often find themselves alone in making such decisions.
My personal reading is that at the present time it is doubtful that the Palestinians will accept a less than fulfilling agreement.
