Palestine’s Prime Minister is trying to build a state, much as David Ben-Gurion did in 1948. A leading Israeli historian of that period looks at how he’s doing.
You’re still working on your plan to build an independent Palestinian state. You have nine months left. Will it be ready? I think so. My vision is for better-functioning institutions for the state, more adequate infrastructure, various services.
Is there a specific date? The 26th of August.
On the 26th of August you’ll say, “I have a state.” No, that’s when we’re supposed to have attained a state of readiness. The reality of it will grow on you.
So you believe in the power of optimism? Most definitely.
