If Netanyahu would be genuinely interested in peace he could formulate an israeli answer to the offer that is on the table, and enter into negotiations without preconditions.
As to demands from the palestinian side these would have to include recognition of Israel in the borders prior to 1967, crackdown on terror infrastructure and fight against the unbelievable corruption inside the PA ( for example).


whom would guarantee these “security guarantees"? and how?
