There is a camp in Gaza but there is only that one camp in Lebanon.

The vast majority of the population are living in what I would not describe as normal set-ups but they are living in the community apart from those two camps in Gaza and Lebanon. It is different in Jordan. They are in camps. It is different in Turkey and Egypt.

Is there a strong commitment to a two-state solution? The interesting thing about it is that it was one of the questions I specifically asked and the reply I got was that the two-state solution was not an issue. Both sides had accepted the principle of the two-state solution and had moved on to the negotiations in respect of the core issues. It is interesting that in the current talks, the two-state solution is now a given. Was there something else?
