But of course: The 'Palestinians' want a goody bag too

You had to know that this was coming.

Palestinian sources told London based al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper that the Palestinian leadership was waiting for a commitment and aid package from the United States, in return for resuming direct negotiations with Israel.

The sources suggested the United States will commit to signing a peace agreement within one year, demarcation of the Palestinian state within three months, and a solution for the refugee problem, as well as a financial aid package.

Maybe they want $3 billion too. In a Swiss bank account.....

Labels: final status negotiations, financial aid package, Palestinian Authority, Swiss bank account

Name: Carl in Jerusalem

Location: Jerusalem, Israel

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
