The Process Will Resume, But Why? -Yossi Alpher
Israeli-Palestinian final status talks will be renewed because the international community wants this to happen.
Mahmoud Abbas, currently the reluctant partner, will bow to American and Arab will once he has extracted maximum preliminary concessions from Israel and the U.S.
The real question should be why the U.S. wants negotiations to resume when they are doomed to failure.

UPDATE:
All Process, No Peace -Elliott Abrams
For two decades the "peace process" has failed to end the conflict. Yet there is a way forward, the one sensible option never really tried: to start at the beginning rather than the end, by creating a Palestinian state from the bottom up, institution by institution, and ending with Israeli withdrawal and negotiation of a state only when Palestinian political life is truly able to sustain self-government, maintain law and order, and prevent terrorism against Israel.
This is, in fact, the fastest way forward.
