Disclosure of documents on the Middle East: "Israel had a partner for peace"

After the publication by the television channel Al-Jazeera documents constituting the "most important flight in the history of Israeli-Palestinian conflict", the international press comments on these documents that show a Palestinian Authority "weak" but "ready to go after peace "and Israel" rude "that rejects" the most generous compromise that the Palestinians have ever done.

" The British daily The Guardian, which has been "independently authenticate and overlap much of the 1600 confidential documents" is one who shows the most pessimistic about the significance of these revelations. "Confidential documents reveal the slow death of the peace process in the Middle East" and is titled the article journalists Seumas Milne and Ian Black, who said that the texts "provide an overview of the extraordinary and alive within the decay a peace process than twenty years old.

" "The general impression which emerges from these documents is that the weakness and desperation of the leaders of the Palestinian Authority increased as they failed to reach an agreement, even a simple stop settlement building, which undermined credibility to their rivals from Hamas. The documents also reveal the unshakable confidence of Israeli negotiators and often arrogant attitude of American politicians towards the Palestinian representatives, "write journalists.

In another article the same day, Jonathan Freedland estimated that "the first victim of these revelations are the national pride of the Palestinians and their sense of collective dignity in adversity." Because complete Pierre Haski Rue89, "these revelations would be acceptable to the Palestinians if they were followed by a breakthrough in the negotiations and improved their lot on the ground", which was not the case.

"These revelations are likely to reinforce the discourse of the Islamists who accuse the Palestinian Authority to 'cooperate' with Israel, without the occupation continues," he says. But somehow, these revelations could serve the Palestinian cause since the Israelis appear in a much less flattering than the Palestinians.

"The revelation of documents discrediting the claims of what Netanyahu as Israel has no partner for peace", as the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. "The documents show that the Palestinians are ready to go all the way to peace," writes journalist Akiva Eldar. Similarly, Jonathan Freedland in the Guardianl'affirme: "Now we know.

Israel had a partner for peace." These documents are shattered one of the cornerstones of Israeli diplomacy: the assertion that there is no Palestinian partner. This theme, repeated for years in the mouths of Israeli spokesmen, is contradicted by the documents, which show not only that there is indeed a Palestinian partner, but it is more accommodating than those who succeed him, "says the journalist.

In The Times - Article Pay - the journalist James Hider adds: "These documents depict an Israel that has publicly said he was ready to make painful concessions for peace, but privately rejects compromise The more generous than the Palestinians ever done. "But the key question posed by Paul Danahar bureau chief of the Near East for the BBC." Who benefits from the leak? "he asked, attempting to identify the source.

"The average Palestinian would feel betrayed because its leaders have told a different story (...) The Americans do not earn much [and] the Israelis appear to have declined from coarse important concessions, "writes Mr. Danahar." The most likely source would be a rival who wants to weaken the Palestinian leadership of President [Palestinian Authority] Mahmoud Abbas, "he says.
