In the history of the Mideast peace process over the past decades, there have been various Israeli leaders, with various political leanings and levels of militancy. There have been several Presidents, with widely varied political outlooks, methods, and plans. Secretaries of State have come and gone. Peace plans have been tried, and have failed.

Only one variable in this equation has never changed. The leader of the Palestinians. Maybe it's time to realize where the bottleneck has been all along.

Kill him? Don't know if that's the best option. Locking him up on some island somewhere like Napoleon would probably be a better solution.
