Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia says that if Israel unilaterally draws a boundary between Israel and Palestine, he will push for one Jewish-Arab state. A state encompassing Gaza, the West Bank and Israel would mean Arabs would outnumber Jews.
Queria says he feels unilateral moves on the part of Israel to create a Palestinian state result in a "meaningless slogan." US Secretary of State Colin Powell counters that a two state solution is the only way to go. This is the "Road Map."
Meanwhile, Israel is trying to ease security checkpoints so that Palestinian workers can enter Israel more easily. They will use Arabic-speaking soldiers at checkpoints so they can deter suicide bombers but allow innocent workers in.
