We gave that in 1988, November 1988, and then ratified again at Oslo in 1993. And they said, now we want what was promised us under international law. And that was the one point where everybody on the other side agreed. Clinton, don't talk to me about international law. Livni during the Omar administration. She said, I studied international law.

Professor Morris, for argument's sake—let's agree on that, strictly for argument's sake—what's the alternative? Dennis Ross said, we're going to decide who gets what on the basis of needs.
