According to press Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, would consider defending an "interim agreement" with the Palestinians rather than trying to revive peace negotiations, an option already rejected by the Palestinians. Israel chose not to send a delegation to Brussels, where the Palestinian negotiators met Wednesday, March 2 representatives of the Quartet of Middle East (UN, U.S., EU and Russia) to revive the peace process, currently stalled.
"The Palestinians do not want to enter into serious negotiations and that is why we must examine the idea of an interim arrangement in the long term," said a source close to Prime Minister Israel Hayom daily, considered close to Netanyahu . "Given the instability in the region, the only possibility is to find an interim arrangement, provided that either long term, and that is what we are looking at," the source said, referring to movements of popular revolt that shook the Arab world.
This plan would provide for the Israeli establishment of a Palestinian state within provisional borders, as well as further discussion on key points of a final agreement, the newspaper Haaretz. The Palestinians have already said repeatedly that they do not merely an interim agreement with Israel and they would not discuss a state with provisional borders.
Peace talks have stalled since September because the Palestinians demand a prior moratorium on the settlement, that Mr. Netanyahu refuses. The Prime Minister has given up sending his chief negotiator, Yitzhak Molcho, at the meeting in Brussels, officially because he had not planned to direct talks with the Palestinian delegation.

The spokesman for the chief of European diplomacy Ashton, Michael Mann, confirmed Wednesday that a meeting was held behind closed doors in Brussels between representatives of the Quartet and Palestinian negotiators, and it was planned " meet Israeli negotiators next week.
" The Quartet deems "imperative" a resumption of peace negotiations, all the more necessary to him that the Near and Middle East is shaken by an unprecedented wave of protest.
