Israel only offers deals it knows are unacceptable to Palestinians. That is not a meeting of equals. Equals negotiate.
I don't think Palestine is smelling of roses. Hamas committed a terrorist attack that killed hundreds brutally.
Israel have continued to take land in violation of international law. Is that continuing to offer deals?
Are they equals, though? Individual people are sure, but countries surely aren't. Maybe it's just wishful thinking to think they should have been negotiating on equal footing to begin with.
Palestinians expected to be negotiated fairly, but what individual wouldn't press their advantages when their resources allow them to for the good of their own interests? Do Palestinians have a history of treating the disadvantaged in their sphere of influence with equality? And should that guarantee them the same with a rival neighboring nation?
Serious question.
