I'd like to think he represents the PM and the DM but I'm afraid it's not that simple. The highly realistic former chief of staff and current deputy prime minister says
Israel will stop talking about land with the PA. "We did not receive 'territories for peace' but 'territories for rockets,'" he said. "We will not enter a discussion on territory because this is the subject where we give and we get nothing in return."
A little hard to square that with Netanyahu's--let alone Barak's, and of course so many others'--repeated ritual declarations of yearning to enter talks with the Pals. There is indeed nothing to talk with them about, an anti-Semitic, jihadist terror cult who are very lucky to have the degree of autonomy they have. Boogie for next PM! Would be interesting to see if he too--like all the others before him--starts talking jive. The jive might be diplomatically inevitable, but it's still jive.
