What will be the most difficult issue to overcome between Israelis and Palestinians?

The Haaretz newpaper is asking its readers to vote today on what issue they think will be the most difficult to overcome before the Middle East Peace Conference now scheduled for Annapolis in November.

The votes are still coming in, but the main problem seems, by a big margin, to be the “Right of Return” of Palestinian refugees.

We agree.

Here’s the result of the on-line voting as of this morning:

“What will be the most difficult Israeli/Palestinian issue to overcome before the November peace meeting?
Borders – 12%
Right of return – 39%
Jerusalem – 24%
Security – 25%

Votes: 246”
