Dershowitz: "When the Palestinians Want a State More than They Want Israel to Cease to Exist, They Will Get a State"
(Globes) Yonatan Kitain - Prof. Alan Dershowitz told the Globes Israel Business Conference in Tel Aviv, "I don't agree with John Kerry that the settlements annihilate the prospect of peace. If you look at the map - 99% of the settlements are so close to the borders of Israel that it only requires a few bypass roads, a few superhighways, to solve this. In my opinion, when the Palestinians want a state more than they want Israel to cease to exist, they will get a state." Asked about a UN Security Council resolution giving Israel an ultimatum on negotiations with the Palestinians, Dershowitz said, "What most concerns me about UN resolutions is that they encourage the Palestinians to think that they can attain a reality of two states without making painful decisions around the negotiating table."
