Column: Dressing up the Palestinian state

Jerusalem Post by Gershon Baskin | Jun. 23, 2009 (Opinion)

Let us assume for a moment that the Palestinians accept all of Netanyahu's conditions - their state will be demilitarized, it will have no effective control of its external borders, its airspace, seaport, electromagnetic sphere.
