The rest of the article can be found here. quite interesting. A confirmation that Israel does not want a peace that results in a viable Palestinian state. This charge is always usable and is cleverly chosen. No peace will ever result in a "viable" Palestine, and that's because no viable state could ever exist given the Palestinian leadership. You could hand them all of Israel, heck, you could hand them all of North America, and they would turn it all into a larger version of Gaza. States are viable or not based on the choices of their leaders and their people. Tiny states with no resources to speak of, like Israel and Singapore, are more than viable, are prosperous, because of their choices. Huge states with huge resources, like Egypt and Zimbabwe and the Congo are basket cases because of misrule. I read everything that Malley and Agha wrote. I read everthing that Dennis Ross and Shlomo Ben Ami wrote too; they were all there. Malley and Agha have different sympathies but didn't differ much in the essentials of what happened, where the negotiations got to or how they failed. If you want to read it, it's more fruitful to read the accounts of the guys who were actually there as opposed to people retelling the story at one remove.
