I don't think anyone would be acceptable. No matter who gets involved one side would cry foul. They all want more than half. They didn't accept half the first time, whats changed?
My vote would go to Norway. As the most peaceful country on earth i'd trust them over the likes of the USA or Egypt.
The designated representatives of Israel and the PLO ...
Do you understand the difference between 'negotiate' and 'arbitrate'?

Do you honestly think Palestine and Israel can negotiate themselves out of this one. Im sure as hell not holding my breathe.

Perhaps Jimmy Carter would be an asset.
Jimmy Carter is an ***.
Any recommendations as to who those designated representatives should be?
Follow-up: Should there be an arbiter and, if so, who should arbitrate?

I think the current idea for a palestinian state is quite reasonable. We are essentially giving them a measurable chunk of land out of Israeli territory on their historic grounds, and they should be happy with that. I agree that they shouldn't be allowed to have an army and that they must unequivocally recognize Israel as an independent state. Also, there should be some provision for the Palestinians to be required to share land equally with Israel.
If the Palestinians refuse, it only shows that they are not interested in peace.

If they refuse, it might also show that some of the terms offered them are unfair.
What does that mean in practice?
He's also one of the few people who was instrumental in negotiating a lasting peace between Egypt and Israel. Pretty good days work for an ***.

This possibility seems to strike people as nigh on impossible, yet I've read accounts of peace talks being rather unfairly leveraged to Israel's interests.
Are such reports regarded as dodgy interpretations of what went on, or simply lies?

we would have to look at these reports to make a judgement , of course the terms in all such talks are biased to each side, by each side, and then negotiated upon.

Perhaps if there's a particular meeting you have in mind, we can do a little research and post our findings here, to see whether or not either side was asking for too much, or not giving enough.

To get the ball rolling, I think I'll suggest we take a look at the Taba Summit of 2001. Perhaps you can come back with your understanding of the terms involved, and your view regarding what seemed fair or not.

Norway would involve lots of people called Olaf, Helga and Sven
Is that really acceptable?
