"They are an independent, national Palestinian entity, with a freely elected self-rule."
We believe there is a separate Palestinian entity short of a state.
If carried out, the agreement could transform the nature of the Palestinian entity, making it larger and more autonomous.
The definition of the Palestinian entity was one of several points on which the two sides failed to agree.
That agreement would deal with the most contentious issues, including borders between Israel and a Palestinian entity.
Whoever leads any future Palestinian entity will have strong political reasons to back away from the Israeli connection.
He has hoped to move Hamas from terror to the politics of the new Palestinian entity.
He seems to view a Palestinian entity as a great risk for Israel.
After an interim period, this Palestinian entity and Israel would work out "a permanent agreement."
We will not support the creation of any Palestinian entity that could place Israel's security in jeopardy.
