Credit Jerry Lewis, the London correspondent for Israel Radio News in English, for finally asking the question I’ve wanted to ask political leaders who matter. He was talking to William Hague before the UK foreign secretary departed for a visit to Israel.
The million dollar question — about the nine-month settlement freeze — comes up at the 2:03 point of this interview.
The Palestinians have had nine months. What did they do in that nine months?
The key snippet from Hague’s answer:
Now I believe the important thing here is not what anybody has done in recent months but what they could do in the next few months . . .
The question remains.
