They are leading the entire region to confrontation rather than encourage the Palestinians to return to negotiations to resolve things peacefully."went unanswered, the Jerusalem Post recently reported that the Palestinians fear that the incoming Netanyahu led right-wing government could look to annex the whole of Area C, which it said could lead to a third Intifada.
