From our side we start with a spokes person who is recognized as the absolute trusted authority to speak for us. That's who they will send, they expect no less from us. hhhhhold it, we don't do things that way. Any time we send someone, half our nation protests against the person, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for partisan gain. They are not going to respect such a spokes person to do what I've suggested. You wouldn't see that from Iran, Saudi, Quait etc.

I'm not saying we 'can' or 'want' to get buy in the way I've lined it out, I'm just telling you that's what peaceful negotiations would require.

It is simple really, the mediator has to be fair and impartial.
The Israelis want security.
The Palestinians want total control and sovereignty over the West Bank and Gaza and the right of return. RoR can be worked out by simply compensating the refugees for their lost land.
East Jerusalem is the trickier part but not impossible to solve.
If you can find a party that is neutral to both sides good things will happen.
