How low can you go [Israel]

Israel and the Palastinian led gov of Hamas have a basic no talking to each other policy, and basically like to pretend the other doesn't exist as neither wants to acknowledge the other formally (Israelis still primarily deal with ousted PM Abbas.) So what happens when they need to talk you ask? Well Haaretz.com reports that the Palastinians have agreed to let their minor political figures tal to Israeli politicans.

An excerpt:

Several central issues are seen as requiring talks with the PA, either because this is in Israel's interest or in order to address an urgent humanitarian need. These include fighting epidemics (like bird flu), other health care issues (transferring medicine and vaccines, coordinating patients' trips to Israel for treatment), environmental issues (dealing with sewage), security crises (but only life and death situations, such as rescuing Israelis who enter PA territory) and population registration (exchanging data).

Education was also added to the list recently

I think that this is an interesting idea. The two sides need to talk and if they have to sidestep to do it, I think its necessary for both sides.
