(Foundation for the Defense of Democracies) Aaron David Miller - Former Arab-Israeli peace negotiator Aaron David Miller spoke at a July 11, 2017, book launch at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies in Washington for The Last Palestinian: The Rise and Reign of Mahmoud Abbas. Miller: "The reality is not so much Abbas and the risks he refused or was willing to take. We saw this with a much more legitimate Palestinian leader at Camp David [Arafat]. This issue is the issues and whether or not any Israeli and Palestinian leader is prepared to make definitive decisions on the six core issues that drive the conflict: borders, security, refugees, Jerusalem, recognition of Israel as the nation-state of the Jews, and end of claims and conflict. The answer has been, to date, no." "I see nothing...certainly on the Palestinian side, that suggests that any Palestinian leader, certainly Abbas and those who will follow him, are ready to make those sorts of choices."
