'Walls provide temporary relief, but they don't solve the ...problem. In this case, it's rocketry'

Where do you stand on recognition from the United Nations of a Palestinian state? Understand, the UN does not have the authority to recognize states. States are recognized by other states. But a UN resolution-especially if passed by an overwhelming margin-would have profound effects. And those states that voted for it would then move toward recognition on their own. That would, I think, be a harmful development-very harmful for Israel, for the U.S., and for the peace process. The way for the parties to get an agreement, the way for the Palestinians to get a state, the way for Israelis to feel secure, is through a negotiated agreement with active American assistance.
