Reform of the Palestinian Authority is something that many parties have spoken about. It's not my idea. It is a proposition that others, including the United Kingdom—the conservative government in the United Kingdom, in fact—as well as the United States have spoken about. This is a mainstream idea. I know that there are those that don't support two states. It is a matter for you whether or not you think that's consistent with your party's position. What I would say is I do not believe and the international community does not believe that there is long-term peace and security for the people of Israel unless this issue is ultimately dealt with.
