Er zou heel misschien een Palestijnse staat kunnen komen als de Palestijnse Autoriteit niet alleen om meer druk op Israel vraagt, maar vooral ook zelf aan de slag gaat en zich flexibel opstelt. Erken Israel als Joodse staat, erken dat een onbeperkt 'recht op terugkeer' niet reëel is, erken dat ook de Joden een historische band met het land en met Jeruzalem hebben, en vraag vervolgens van Israel te stoppen met bouwen in de nederzettingen en te erkennen dat Jeruzalem ook voor de Palestijnen belangrijk is.

Fayad: Palestinian state within 2 years

A Palestinian state can be created within two years, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salaam Fayad said on Monday.
Speaking in Abu Dis, Fayad called on his people to pull together and "roll up their sleeves" in order to make sure that all the institutions necessary for a state are in place "by the end of next year, or at the latest, in two years."
The PA prime minister refused to back down from the Palestinian stance that there would be no peace negotiations with Israel until a West Bank settlement freeze.
Fayad also called upon the world to exert pressure on Israel to cease settlement activity and stop the Gaza blockade.
Last week in the US, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Israel's settlements were not an obstacle to achieving peace, adding that Israel was ready to engage in peace talks with the Palestinians without preconditions.
Visiting New York after his trip to Washington DC, where he maintained Israel's opposition to a settlement freeze, Lieberman also downplayed the issue as a potential thorn in the relationship between Israel and the United States.
