According to the Telegraph, Netanyahu hopes to kick the Palestinian state can down the road by as much as 30 years.
Mr Netanyahu is reportedly hoping that the agreements reached under an accord would be phased in stage-by-stage over as much as 30 years.
Israel reportedly hopes that a protracted timetable would test the viability of a peace deal by gradually building confidence that its security needs would be met even as it withdrew from territory that would become part of a Palestinian state.
But Israel’s withdrawal from Sinai was completed within 36 months. So does Bibi want the glory of reaching a deal, but none of the heat of actually implementing it? Or, is this a way to inject a poison pill to make a deal unworkable?
