LETTER: Without the Palestinians, peace accord a bust

The real story is, of course the absence of the Palestinian flag from the ceremony, the absence of any Palestinian officials and … oh yes, the lack of any agreement on the elusive “two-state solution.” Dozens of Arab states can agree to establish relations with Israel, whatever the quid pro quo may be, but until Israel and Palestine reach a fair accommodation on their two peoples living together, there can be no peace in the Mideast. Only then will the accomplishment be “worthy” of the Nobel Peace Prize.
