"I think that the gap between the Palestinians and the Israelis is much too big to be bridged," she said in an English-language interview on stage at the Jerusalem Post diplomatic conference.
Comment: She's actually correct. The Israelis are simply unwilling to concede anything. The continued existence of their state requires that they never find a solution - because their state is built upon anti-democratic principles, ethnic cleansing and theft. That's the real reason all previous efforts have failed: the Israelis only ever put up a pretense of negotiating with no intention of finding a solution the Palestinians would find acceptable.
She added: "I think personally it's a waste of time. Although I want peace like anyone else, I think I'm just more realistic. And I know that in the current future, it is impossible."
In a possible concession to diplomatic niceties, she added, "But let's wait and see what [the Trump administration] will offer."
Trump was set to hold a meeting with top advisers this week to review his administration's peace plan and discuss the timing for its release, according to a television report on Sunday.
