That is the only deal in town, from Rabat to Riyadh. In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the victim has moved faster than the oppressor beyond double negation towards mutual recognition, mutual recognition between Israel and Palestine. I hope that Bibi Netenyahu has not misread our intentions again. We were not in favour of a Palestinian unilateral recognition of Israeli existence. Recognition should be a double- way traffic.
Recognition can only be a double way traffic.
Secretary of State, we can satisfy Israel s hunger for peace, if Israel abandons its appetite for territory. I still believe that we the Palestinian people have still neither the Authority we deserve nor the opposition we need. There is ample room for improvement in both. This criticism also extends to the performance of the Palestinian intelligentsia, the Palestinian business community and to the Palestinian Diaspora. The Palestinian refugee community, still living in sub-human conditions on the periphery of the homeland, feels abandoned, ignored, neglected.
