Clinton Tries to Persuade Abbas to Negotiate with Israel -Avi Issacharoff
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will arrive for a visit to Israel and the Palestinian Authority during which she will attempt to persuade PA leader Mahmoud Abbas to reopen negotiations with Israel on a final peace agreement. Clinton will ask Abbas to restart the negotiations with Israel without a complete freeze of construction in the settlements.

Deadlock on Restarting Israeli-Palestinian Talks -Barry Rubin
What both the U.S. and Europe fail to see is that the Palestinians don't need or want rapid progress on negotiations or even a state. They believe that intransigence on their part actually brings more criticism of Israel.
If you believe that the world is about to condemn Israel as a pariah, war criminal state, why make compromises with it?
