but at this point in time i'm not extremely optimistic incidentally you mentioned the palestinian unesco bit and of course they also submitted their application for the full membership in the united nations we don't see at all oh it can hurt the israeli palestinian negotiations because of the palestinians have very wisely stated from the outset that they did not see their membership in the united nations as an alternative to negotiations with israel is that they accept that yes in the final analysis the problem will have to be settled in their direct talks with israel is but also they believe that there must be certain parameters within which they will be talking to the israelis and one of the elements of those parameters is that the settlement activity on the west bank and is jerusalem will have to stop because now we see a situation where the west bank almost entirely covered by israeli settlements and outposts so it's logical for the palestinians it would seem to ask what kind of two state solution two state solution there can be if there is no land for us essentially on the west bank
