I will be very quick. A few weeks ago in the West Bank, I was very struck by the number of Palestinian people who have moved away from the two-state solution and who talk about a one-state solution. Part of it is their loss of faith in the Palestinian Authority. Part of that is also because no elections have been held. That is not doing the Palestinian people any good. They need hope from their own politicians as well as politicians outside Palestine.
