knowing this is something really important for abu mazen and what i would like that ask-- and this ist i asked the other world and the sber national community-- i mean, those of you believing that settlements doesn't help it's against this, it's against international law, we have a few months ahead. if you focus on some the activities we will miss the opportunity to focus on the real border of palestine, on the state of -- future state of palestine and the state of israel. i don't want these background noises to enter the negotiations as this is something that i say to israelis asking to stop negotiations because of terror attacks and the palestinians saying to abu mazen stop negotiating because of some settlements. it's not going to change the borders, what we are doing in the next few months so let's focus on the negotiations itself on the future boarder from israeli security and even if you are not in love with settlement activities this is not a major topic these days. >> rose: thank you. tzipi livni.

borders until they do so any treaty would only fuel more conflict yes there are yasser arafat's abu mazen and other palestinian leaders openly declared that they would take one step at a time but first they take what israel is ready to give voluntarily and then the conflict will continue so they get more territory. so israel is not willing to be the sucker of the middle east and to make long term concessions sacrificing the security of its own citizens only to find out in the end the conflict isn't over that is going on as before except that israel is now in a much worse position and so answering your question in a sense it is now the palestinians will have to choose if they do seek self-determination and want to. become an independent state they have a real partner which is moreover a very practical one as it has the backing of both the left and part of the right but as you can see not only do they has a day to jump at this opportunity now they openly declare that they wouldn't be interested in a peaceful agreement all these real if under this agreement they have to end the conflict and
