new york times," thank you. on afghanistan, this 40% or so of the territory that's either contested or held by the taliban. to what extent are you concerned that regional or international terrorist organizations are taking advantage of that contested space to take over, be it al qaeda, isis or some other groups? >> i'm very concerned. i think as you look at -- you look at the 98 violent extremist organizations that our department of state has identified and has designated terrorist organizations out there. and as you look into the afghanistan, pakistan region, you'll find 20 of them. 13 of them are specifically present in afghanistan. i think we have to be concerned about this. and the taliban pulling together and cooperating and collaborating with other terrorist organizations is something we should be -- we should be concerned about. i am concerned about that. i am concerned about how these voids are filled. and how we address and provide the pressure and incentives for them not to grow roots in these particular areas. and i think that's something we'll have to continue to contend with here in places like afghanistan. >> we have about five more minutes. let's see if

new york times goes with editorial, carter writes -- "the combined weight of the united states record vision come united nations ownership in a secured council resolution subtly grounded in international law would lay the foundation for future diplomacy. this is the best, not perhaps the only means, of countering the one state reality that israel is imposing on itself and the palestinian people." the former u.s. president jimmy carter in "new york times" op-ed piece. we will end with you, diana. abouts is not a question recognition. it is whether we will be able to get our rights and forced. if that means that recognizing palestine is a means to precluding of going to court, than i do not want it. what i want to see is the palestinian government taking israel to court. i want to see them go before the icc, international criminal court, when it comes to settlement and their actions in gaza. i want to see that israel is being sanctioned around the world. i want to see israel is being isolated around the world as well. if that means we have to trade one for the other, i will take going to court instead of recognition. amy: diana buttu, thank you for being with us from haifa, palestinian
