Dead end? There was no life to the whole charade to start with. The zionist entity uses these tactics, of pretending (Pharisean style, but Tartuffe to those who have a correct read) to engage in peace talks. Unless the counterpart is a feeble-minded individual like Sadate or the HKJ monarch: isolating the Palestinians politically is all they strive to achieve.
