Dr. Reuven Pedatzur, senior lecturer at Netanya Academic College, concludes his thorough analysis by stating that indirect talks, which are supposed to restart the negotiation process, will not lead to an agreement. At the same time, he believes, that the coming months will be of great importance.

Prof. Efraim Inbar from Bar-Ilan University arrives at similar conclusions. He, however, believes the cause to be a very different one.
