Now that the Palestinians have agreed to hold talks with the Israelis after about a two years absence (obviously under U.S. pressure), the same routine starts again to seek a settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But it is just hopeful or a waste of time since both parties agree to disagree and wants to talk just because the U.S. wants them too. The U.S. influence already considerably reduced due to the ongoing conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan is still the most influential party who can force both the other parties to talk and it is just that, a photo opportunity and a signal to the world that the United States is interested in a resolution to the decades old conflict.
But I believe that after careful analysis, it has been decades since the conflict started that it is just a waste of time and energy to even follow that path. Since both the parties want the status quo to continue. Nobody is interested in give and take and everybody wants to eat the whole pie. Just to show the world is not going to impress anybody since the world is now sick and tired of this conflict and wants to move and also the economic situation has greatly diverted the attention of the people. So for now you would be reading more of the same talk and nothing else.
