Not Off the Negotiating TablePalestinian PM rejects Israel's demand that 'right of return' be scrapped
Then I guess there just won't be a peace deal. The Palestinians know damn well that they're asking Israel to commit demographic suicide. Since this is about keeping nations distinct, however, Israel should be suggesting that Palestinian right-of-return is not about people returning to their homeland but about the Palestinian government promoting Palestinian settlements in Israel, and that Israel will not even talk to a representative who simultaneouly objects to Israeli settlements in the West Bank and wants Palestinian settlements in Israel. Israel would then be wise to start withdrawing from the settlements to make the point that it won't colonize Palestine but can only make a peace deal if Palestine renounces plans to colonize it.
