If you're saying Netanyahu is for a two-State solution that's a big claim. It goes against his history, philosophy, election mandate, public utterance, policies and decisions ..... He chose expanding the colonies over peace despite a massive bribe from Obama. I'll consider it if and when he stops expanding the colonies. In the meantime he's on the record as promising to stay in the West Bank for an "eternity".*

Again, it's up to the Palestinians to choose their own negotiators, not us and certainly not Israel. Israel swore it wouldn't ever talk to the PLO for years and look what happened. Ditto the UK Govt and the IRA. If there's ever going to be a lasting peace, Hamas and the people it represents has to be included in the process somehow. Like I said Israel has to compromise if it expects others to compromise. I hope it finds a way.
