The text discusses the stagnation of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, arguing that peace requires a 'matrix of interests' where peace becomes 'cheaper than continuing war,' and asserting that the current status quo is unsustainable.

After 20 years of failed peace talks, is it possible that the two sides' positions on borders, refugees and other issues are just unbridgeable and no amount of talks will make a difference?
Peace between conflicting parties is not about Saeb Erekat waking up one morning and feeling his conscience aching for Israelis or Israelis waking up and feeling their conscience aching for my suffering. It's about the matrix of interests maturing. Once any conflicting party believes that making peace is cheaper than continuing war, he'll do it. Our matrix of interest has matured to deliver the requirement for peace, but Israel hasn't opened the door. They think maintaining the status quo is best for them. We are trying to show them that the status quo is not sustainable.
