Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is too weak and too burdened by his rivalry with the hard-line Islamist Hamas – which rules in Gaza – to allow himself the political luxury of departing from the core demands of Palestinian nationalism. Nor does Netanyahu, an ideologue who is visibly uncomfortable with his forced support of the two-state idea, truly have a governing coalition for peace.
巴勒斯坦总统阿巴斯太弱、受到太多的掣肘——来自他的竞争对手和走强硬路线的加沙地带控制着哈马斯——因此没有政治上的空间置巴勒斯坦民族主义的核心要求于不顾。内塔尼亚胡也是如此，作为显而易见不满于被迫支持两国方案的空想家，他其实并没有追求和平的执政联盟。
