"The new Palestinian demands, according to Maan, included a written commitment from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel recognizing a Palestinian state along the border lines from before the 1967 war, with East Jerusalem as the capital; the release of 1,200 Palestinian prisoners; and an end to Israeli travel, import, export, fishing and farming restrictions in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli officials involved in the talks said they could not agree to such conditions because they were final status issues that need to be negotiated.
Several Palestinian leaders were quoted in the local news media Friday as saying the Maan report was not accurate, but they declined to specify what new demands had been made."
The real upshot to all of this is that Naftali Bennett is emerging as a cross between Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney, but with vastly more wit.
