A boss who runs a refugee organization, a refugee group, right, that claims that they don't have a state that gets billions of dollars in aid every year from the global community would fly in a $60 million Boeing BBJ.

So the whole thing was just very corrupt and off.

And I do think that that's why it, I don't think people were incentivized to solve it, to be honest.

You have to separate it into two different issues.

And I think that that's actually how we came to the Abraham Accords is that, you know, I tell the story in the book and it was one of my like favorite experiences during my time in diplomacy where I went to meet with Sultan Qaboos, who was the Sultan of Oman.

And we fly out there because he'd had a secret meeting with Bibi.

And I thought maybe he was open to normalizing with Israel.

So after he meets with Bibi, he calls me and says, I want you to come see me.

So I go over to see him.

And again, I tell the story.

It was a crazy night and all these different areas.

But when I was talking to him, he basically says to me,

I feel badly for the Palestinian people that they carry with them the burden of the Muslim world.

And that line just like stuck with me.

And a couple of days later, I was thinking about it and I said, wait a minute.

who elected the Palestinian people to represent the Muslim world on the Al-Aqsa Mosque?

And so the reason why I felt like it had never been solved was it was a riddle, A, that I believed was designed to not be solved.

But B, you were conflating two separate issues.

You had the issue between Israel and the Muslim world, which really was the issue of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

And then you had just a territorial dispute, which throughout history, you have lots of territorial disputes and they're usually resolved in different ways.
