On the question of a Palestinian state remaining an American goal, which it has been for the past two decades, he responds that he "does not believe it".
If nothing significant happens that changes the culture, there is no room for it.
He further states that it is probably not going to happen "during our lifetime".
He adds that if such a state were to be formed, it would be somewhere else in the region. He suggests that a piece of land could be taken from a Muslim country instead of Israel having to make room.
Must it be in Judea and Samaria? he asks, referring to the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinians claim that Israel has made it almost impossible to form a state by building more and larger Jewish settlements on the West Bank, while the settlers' violence against Palestinians continues.
European and Arab countries have worked to promote the creation of a Palestinian state under the leadership of the Palestinian Authority, which controls parts of the West Bank, as part of a process to end the war between Israel and Hamas.
Hamas' terrorist attack against Israel on October 7, 2023, was the starting point for the war in Gaza.
