13. Maybe Netanyahu is right.

“The curious thing is that most governments” that have looked at the settlement activity, “including the Palestinians themselves, as revealed in leaked documents, understand that these blocs, these arrangements, are going to be part of Israel in a final political settlement of peace,” Netanyahu said.

The final peace settlement may very well assign those areas to Israel.

They have to negotiate. The sooner the better.

If Palestine has not agreed to specific borders, how can they claim any land at all.

Mexico could claim all of Southern California. They could refer to San Diego, Los Angeles and the rest as illegal settlements.

Sorry. If Palestine wants to object to Israelis being in certain places, they need to negotiate definite borders. One people can't just claim to own land if another group of people is using it. Goes both ways. Borders have to be negotiated. Peace treaties have to be signed an enforced.
