My Way News - Palestinians: Don't start talks 'from scratch'
AP reports: "Netanyahu says Israel is ready to resume negotiations but refuses to be bound to Olmert's reported concessions. Palestinians say they turned down his offer of a state in Gaza, more than 90 percent of the West Bank and parts of Jerusalem."

Comment: See, that's what I don't get, they turned that offer down, they want more than that, but what kind of negotiating position is that? They are telling Netanyahu, "let's take the very best offer that your much more liberal predecessor could make and then give us more and maybe we will accept that." How likely is it that Netanyahu can give them a more generous deal than Olmert did?
