Palestine: The Issue of Political Stability

The recent proposal of recognizing Palestine as a state raised by Sweden can be regarded as a wise initiative to put pressure on Israel within the Israeli-Palestinian peace process through providing an alternative option for considering peace talks. This option can be selected in the case that negotiations fail.
The most important issue currently facing the Palestinian Authorities is the issue of political stability. At this time, Hamas' relationship with the Palestinian National Authorities and Mahmoud Abbas is similar to United States-Russia relationship.
Despite the fact that, Palestinian unity government of Fatah and Hamas raised high hopes about the future of Palestine, we must claim that what is running inside the body of Palestinian politics and behind the fence of news is the nature of "dissension" among Palestinian leaders. Such a dissension would certainly ruin the current promising potentials. Considering this fact, it must be claimed if the efforts on the issue of Palestinian and its future limited to the international stage, "hope" is the optimistic element about the future of Palestine. 
The membership of one of the Palestinian groups in the community and particularly in the class can be considered as an easy and traditional prescription of treating "the issue of political stability" among the Palestinian population.  
Accepting one of the Palestinian factions makes it possible to provide political advises for Palestinian party or use international leverages if needed, through getting informed of local events of Palestine.

Israel's decision for Tel Aviv!

Many of human right activists, people and even some politicians in the world take Tel Aviv responsible for the failure of peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. While the peace between Israel and the Palestinians need unity of all Palestinian groups. In current situation, the most important issue for Palestine is presence of extremist organization and groups such as Hamas and the Lebanese Hezbollah which believe in armed conflict. Surely, if the peace talks be successful, the extremist groups will change the resulting peace into insecurity and war in both Israeli and Palestine. Even it's possible that the extremist groups which are now like a shadow cabinet and also own weapons attempt coup and control the government after recognition of Palestine as an independent country and success of peace negotiation. 
Israel doesn't want theater acting of peace but real peace is the aim of Israel. But as long as Palestinian National Authority can't cancel the threat of extremism, it will be impossible to achieve the peace.
Also the international community just like Tel Aviv failed to trust to Palestinian. Legal status of the state of Palestine isn't more complex that Taiwan's for sure. But countries by establishing consular and commercial relation with Taiwan convert the state to one of the most influential economic power in the world.
It's should be noted that from the perspective of international law independence of Taiwan from China is illegal because unlike countries such as USA, India, Switzerland and etc. China isn't federal and any province in China can't have privilege of the autonomy (unlike the situation of states in federal) and thus can't be independent. 
But most countries are reluctant to take the same policy in Palestine as they applied for Taiwan. So Israel view to Palestine issue isn't limited only to Tel Aviv but also has global scope. 
Undoubtedly peace is the wish of all Israel people. Peace can have real positive results even for those citizens who are only thinking of their own interests including eliminating the military services obligation in Israel. Length of this obligation period is 3 years of men and 2 years for women which can probably change by peace establishment to a selective one rather than being an obligation or reduce military budget and heath or education budget increase instead. 
The new generations of Israel politician which is born in last few year want establishing a new order in Middle East.
Clearly they want to leave the old existing tradition and orders. 
Tel Aviv wants all European, American and Middle East countries try to bring out Hamas and Hezbollah from current armed and dangerous situation as an essential prerequisite for peace and identify the problem of instability in Palestine as an obstacle for peace establishment.
