"There's a Disconnect between the Palestinian Street and Their Leadership"
(Hamodia) Jason Greenblatt interviewed by Sara Lehmann - Jason Greenblatt, the president's Special Representative for International Negotiations, said: "I think there's a disconnect between many on the Palestinian street in the West Bank and their leadership. I've met a lot of Palestinians in the last year and a half, young, middle aged, etc. They want a better life. They're not thumping on the table, incitement kind of people." "They are people who are nationalistic, to be sure. I'm not going to say that they don't want their own state; most do. But they also want their leaders to stop being defiant and stop wasting time running around the world trying to get paper victories and try to resolve the conflict, so that they can get a home, a job, pay their mortgage, send their kids to school."
