And I think it could work for the safety and security of Israel, which was number one.

So first issue is drawing a map.

Second issue is security.

Again, Israel...

And again, this is one issue we were incredibly sympathetic with Israel, which is you can't expect a prime minister of Israel to make a deal where he's going to make his people less secure than before.

So we worked very closely with them on a security apparatus.

We laid something out that I think would keep the whole area safer and it would make sure Israel was safe and also keep the Palestinian issue safe.

So you need security.

Number three was the religious sites.

And that was one that was actually...

always made much more complicated by people, the Al-Aqsa Mosque, because you basically have Haram al-Sharif, which is a place where the mosque was built in the 7th or 8th century.

But originally, it was where the Holy of Holies were and the Beit HaMikdash for the Jewish people.

And then compounding by the fact that you have all of the Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, it's a city that should be bringing everyone together, but in fact, has become a place where you have wars and hatred and a lot of different conflicts that have risen because of it.

But what I said was, instead of fighting over concepts of sovereignty, which is interesting how I got to the notion that this wasn't really the big issue, I basically said just operationally, why don't we just make it simple?

Let everyone come and be able to worship as long as they're being able to worship peacefully.

So that's really the...

contours of it.

And what the Palestinians have done is they've kind of deflected from a lot of their own shortcomings.

And a lot of the Arab leaders did that as well, kind of in the pre-Abraham Accord days by kind of allowing this issue to be so prevalent.

So one thing I'll say on the Palestinians is that what we tried to do by laying out a plan was we said, okay, what are the reasons why the Palestinian people are not having the lives that they deserve?
