Palestinians dismiss talk of interim peace plan

Well it didn't take the Palestinians long to outright reject any discussions of setting up a new Palestinian state along interim borders.  This was the new Israeli plan that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was working on.  The Palestinians have said no, and are demanding actual borders based on the pre-1967 borders.  This is something that Israel simply can not accept.  The Israelis understand that to retreat back to those borders would be suicide for the Jewish State.  Israel would put itself into an indefensible position.  Realizing this, Netanyahu has said that Israel would never move its forces away from the Jordan River, (which would be inside the borders of any new Palestinian state).  Needless to say, the Palestinians are incensed at such an idea.

So it would seem we are back to square one before we ever even got off the square.  With global pressure on Israel continuing to build for a September resolution to all this, and the current revolutions occurring in the middle-east, the epicentre is being moved quickly to a date with destiny.  We have warned before that before any peace treaty of major significance is signed with Israel and the world, (Daniel 9:27), war will happen first.  Such a prophetic fulfillment of the Psalm 83 war would temporarily silence the howling from Israel’s Arab neighbours, allow Israel to expand it's boundaries and likely result in the signing of the seven year agreement with the Antichrist.

From the articles:

Israel is likely to offer Palestinians a state within temporary borders, the country's defence minister was quoted as saying Tuesday, detailing for the first time an emerging Israeli plan for breaking the deadlocked peace negotiations.

Though the Palestinians repeatedly have rejected provisional statehood, Ehud Barak told The Wall Street Journal that Israel or the United States would have to give assurances that a full-fledged agreement on permanent statehood would follow.

With popular protests shaking up the Mideast, Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu is under fierce international pressure to prove he is serious about getting peacemaking moving again, especially after the U.S. vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution condemning Israel's West Bank settlement construction last month.

Palestinians on Tuesday dismissed any attempt by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take interim steps toward peace now that U.S.-sponsored statehood negotiations are frozen.

Abu Rdainah said any talks must focus on establishing a Palestinian state "on the 1967 border," a reference to the lines that existed between Israel and the West Bank and Gaza Strip before it captured those territories in a war 44 years ago.  "Any other plan is aimed at ... wasting time," he said.  

In a further sign of the wide Israeli-Palestinian divide, Netanyahu reaffirmed in a visit to the Jordan Valley, in the West Bank, that Israel intended in any peace deal to keep its forces along the Jordan River, the likely eastern border of a Palestinian state. "Our security border is here, on the Jordan," he told reporters.
