so-called West Bank and Israel, is the width of the Washington Beltway, more or less. Just a little more, not much more. You can't really divide it up. You can't say, well, you're going to fly in. Who controls the airspace? Well, it takes you about two and a half minutes to cross it with a regular 747, okay? With a fighter plane, it takes you a minute and a half.

How are you going to divide the airspace? Well, you're not going to divide it. Israel is going to control that airspace and the electromagnetic space and so on. So security has to be in the hands of Israel. My view of how you solve this problem is a simple principle.

The Palestinians should have all the powers to govern themselves and none of the powers to threaten Israel, which basically means that the responsibility for overall security remains with Israel. And from a practical point of view, we've seen that every time that Israel leaves a territory and takes its security forces out of an area, it immediately is overtaken by Hamas or Hezbollah

or jihadists who basically are committed to the destruction of Israel and also bring misery to the Palestinians or Arab subjects. So I think that that principle is less than perfect sovereignty. because you're taking a certain amount of power, sovereign powers, especially security, away. But I think it's the only practical solution. So people say, ah, but it's not a perfect state.

I say, okay, call it what you will. Call it, you know, I don't know, limited sovereignty, call it autonomy plus, call it whatever you want to call it. But that's the reality. And right now, if you ask Israelis across the political spectrum, except the very hard left, most Israelis agree with that. They don't really debate it.

So a two-state solution where Israel controls the security of the entire region. We don't call it quite that. I mean, there are different names, but the idea is, yes, Israel controls security in the region. It's the entire area. It's this tiny area between the Jordan River and the sea. I mean, it's like you can walk it in not one afternoon. If you're really fit, you can do it in a day.
