Mideast peace process: Hampered throughout history – The Express Tribune Blog: "Mitchell enjoyed the reputation of being a “tireless advocate” of peace, but his extraordinary skills failed in the face of Israeli obduracy. A few days ago, US President Barrack Obama called for a peace plan for Palestine based on the return to 1967 borders. This speech annoyed Netanyahu who has, in no ambiguous terms, rejected Obama’s stance.
Unfortunately the Palestine problem remains as intractable today as it was six decades ago. Rather in many respects it has become more complex and intricate. An understanding of the protracted conflict will require answers to two questions.
One, what are the fundamental thorny issues bedevilling the relationship of the disputants?
And two, why have all peace initiatives, undertaken over the past decades, come to naught?"
