And also the regional component.
It's not just about Israeli-Palestinian relations.
It's also about the regional spoilers.
It's also about regional integration.
Those three things need to move together.
And it's also about Palestinian responsibility and agency.
We should also be in the business of demanding from them measures, not for everything, by the way.
It's not all about reciprocity.
I don't think we should be demanding reciprocity for the articulation of an aspiration or demanding reciprocity for clamping down on violence by Jews in the West Bank.
That is something we need to do for ourselves.
But there are things that, unless the Palestinian Authority reforms, we shouldn't do and would be unwise for us to do.
We have to use our leverage well and wisely.
So that's the way I think about it.
And it's a kind of way of saying,
As hard as it is, let's emerge from the paralysis because it is in our vested interest to do so, both on the Palestinian issue and for our relations in the region and for our relations in the West and for our sense of self and who we are and who we want to be.
Yeah, so first I would say that, you know, the regional order is in flux, the situation is in flux, and we're going to need to see what's possible, what's needed.
And we have needs, others have needs.
We need to listen to one another to see what's possible and ask ourselves what are the risks we're willing to take and those we're not willing to take.
If a failed state or a terrorist state is going to be in our border three years after October 7th, I don't see a lot of Israelis enthusiastic about that.
The other thing I'll say though, Dan, is that Rahm Emanuel actually said something pretty interesting in the podcast with you last time.
