(BBC News) Dore Gold - Former Israeli UN Ambassador Dore Gold, today an advisor to the prime minister, discussed the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers on BBC News. Q: How can Israel blame the Palestinians if the teenagers went missing in Israeli-controlled territory? Gold: If al-Qaeda struck New York in 2001 and the attack came from Afghanistan, you don't look for the problem in New York City. The terrorists came out of territory under the control of the Palestinian Authority, which means that the Palestinian Authority itself and Mahmoud Abbas are directly responsible for these events. Q: The Palestinians say the detention of scores of people across the West Bank is a collective punishment against the entire Palestinian people. Gold: We have three young people whose lives are in danger and we will have to move in any way possible to get that information to find out where those three teenagers are. The clock is ticking.
