    Easier?

    "[I]t is easier for Olmert to throw up his hands and say that it is impossible at present to negotiate with the Palestinians", for the simple reason that it is impossible at present to negotiate with the Palestinians. With whom does one negotiate? Hamas won't, and doesn't accept the results of any previous negotiations. Any agreements reached between Israel and Fatah will just serve to delegitimize Fatah in the eyes of the Palestinian street. There is no way to make forward progress.
