(Jerusalem Post) Yitzhak Benhorin - Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad angrily left a meeting in New York on Tuesday after Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon insisted the meeting summary refer to "two states for two peoples" rather than just "two states." "If the Palestinians are not willing to talk about two states for two peoples, let alone a Jewish state for Israel, then there's nothing to talk about," Ayalon said. "And also, I said if the Palestinians mean, at the end of the process, to have one Palestinian state and one bi-national state, this will not happen." "I was very surprised that there was apparently no acceptance of the idea of two states for two peoples."
