Good news for the Middle Eastern peace process? Discuss.

it's going to take something way more poignant to change/rectify the political/geographical landscape in the region.

step 1. dismantle all those illegal settlements.

and that won't be happening in my lifetime probably.

so I don't see real peace coming about.

This guy couldn't be much worse, but I don't see anything happening right away. It'll probably take no less than 5 years for anything significant to happen there.

promising news indeed
