#1 ...at the expense of historic claims dating to Israel's creation in 1948...
If true, that could be big. I remain skeptical however. After all, these are Paleos we're talking about. Just another opportunity to miss an opportunity?

#2 Some analysts see younger leaders in the West Bank and Gaza Strip as more ready to compromise

Ah yes, the mythical, wishfully thinking Some. There have been reports from the congress about Abbas, etc demanding as non-negotiable the entirety of Jerusalem as the capitol of the new Palestinian state, whereas before they only demanded the old, "Arab" section, and the insistance on continuation of all forms of resistance against Israel -- including violence... I don't think the driving ideas will have changed with the coming of the 50-year old "youths", and possibly not even the language and tone. Only they'll be talking to Israel in Hebrew as well as to the world in English, which gives an extra opportunity to say something different to each audience.
