"Chief Palestinian peace negotiator Saeb Erekat made remarks at a small but  on-the-record gathering at the Brookings Institution Tuesday that deserve more  notice than they will get. Erekat not only accepted President Obama's  negotiating formula of mutually agreed land swaps based on the 1967 boundary as  clearly and unambiguously as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected  the formula last month. He also said that if Mr. Obama invited the two sides to  U.S.-mediated negotiations based on that formula, the Palestinians would  immediately accept and begin negotiating, provided that Netanyahu accepted on  the same basis."
