Anyone with a self-reliant vision for Palestinians would do. A leadership that is not beholden to King Abdullah or Mobarak or anyone else, just Paletinians.
The type of rhetoric that you use has got us exactly nothing. It is why we are here and going nowhere. They need to start a new course. They need to stop accusing each other of .... They need to stop relying on the US and the Quartet. And, they need to stop listening the the naysayers. All of that can be accomplished by putting their own house together. Nobody would do it for them. Good to hear from you.
There are a few facts to remember:
1--Until Arab leader find their own legitimacy through reliance on their own people, they remain reliant on foreign forces. They will have to remain American (Western) underlings, wasting everyone's time, energy, and resources by saying and doing what is not in their own national interests. That is buying tools of destruction that they do not need and building high-rises and monuments such as soccer stadiums that are only going to fill the bottomless pockets and multinationals. waste, wast, and waste.
2--Israelis cannot survive without American dollars and American dollars do not flow to Israel without the conflict. Therefore, there is no interest for Israelis to honestly engage in peace process and end this nonsense that has caused so much destruction and deaths.
3--In a book chapter in Robert Looney's Handbook of the US-Middle East Relations, I argue that, after the collapse of the USSR, Israel lost its strategic position and Iran is a good replacement for it. If we understand this, the Israeli insistence and persistence in making everyone afraid of the "big bad wolf," Iran, is not difficult to understand.
4-- Of course, given the premises above, Palestinian leaders will keep doing what Arab leaders, their benefactors, ask (force) them to do unless something more drastic is done. https://www.juancole.com/2010/12/zangeneh-mahmoud-abbas-needs-to-call-snap-elections-in-palestine.html
