´óÏó´«Ã½

Palestinian negotiators have - saying that parts of the documents have been fabricated and others also . But the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Paul Danahar thinks Saeb Erekat has been too quick to rubbish them: as he knows, off the record many of us have heard his team say things like this before.

Reacting to news of the leaks Doha-based journalist Blake Hounshell tweeted "I think today may be remembered as the day the two-state solution died #palestinepapers."

@Elizrael, based in Israel, thinks Israel will come out of this looking worse, tweeting: #PalestinePapers make the Palestinian leadership look bad, but think about how Israeli leaders come across - refusing peace time after time.

Here's a few of the comments people have emailed the ´óÏó´«Ã½:

Idan south of tel Aviv: If this offer is genuine, it is a fantastic offer and I would have agreed to sign it today. The question to be asked is: was this offer made as "End of claims". If this is truly the case, I have problems understanding Israel refusal. It feels like something is at amiss.

Gearoid in Belfast says: If true these leaks show the PA to be as weak as it is corrupt with a proven track record of enriching themselves at the expense of the Palestinian nation. These leaks explain why Hamas was voted into power in Gaza - and would also rule in the West Bank if Israel's poodle Abbas would call an election.

SeifAllah in Cairo says: I am actually more concerned about the leakage of the documents in such a critical time. I have not seen a single sign of authenticity and the internal conflict in Palestine is in no need for further divisions. The concessions shown above are a sign of treason for many Arabs, which will culminate the divisions between Fatah & Hamas further.

Mohamed in the Maldives: The biggest impact will be that Hamas will be greatly strengthened and more Palestinians will abandon any hope of a peaceful solution to this problem. In the end this could lead to more violence in which Palestinian civilians will suffer most.
