The coming Annapolis Conference does not make for exciting news at breakfast. However, the beginnings of agreeing a realistic agenda of the core issues is historically significant. Although there are few grounds for optimism that Annapolis will result in immediate progress, at least it is a first step, one marked by the Israeli desire to see the involvement of neighbouring states. Who knows? One day we may yet see a rising consensus towards a one-state solution, a joint Israel-Palestine nation. Maybe.
