Olmert says does not want Gaza, West Bank divided - Yahoo! News

Olmert says does not want Gaza, West Bank divided - Yahoo! News:

"'We are not stupid. We don't want to separate Gaza from the West Bank. We know
that a million and a half Palestinians live in the Strip. How can they be
separated from the others?'"


I don't see how a Palestinian state in just Gaza could survive, and how it could represent the Palestinian people. The Palestinian people have been though enough, I think it is time for the leaders of the region to sit down at a table and form a solution to this mess. Of course that means that Hamas will have to back down from its rhetoric about destroying Israel, and it means that Israel will have to learn to trust the Palestinians, and it means that Palestinians will have to stop blaming Israel for all their problems, the rest of the region will have to stop using the conflict to their own advantage and America will have to come clean about its interests in the region. Yeah, I can see how this is going to work out already.
