| UN says PA ready to govern state |
| 2011-04-13 |
| The Palestinian Authority is now largely ready to govern a state, the office of the United Nations special coordinator for the Middle East peace process said in a report on Tuesday. "In six areas where the UN is most engaged, governmental functions are now sufficient for a functioning government of a state," said the report, which will be submitted to Palestinian donor nations meeting in Brussels on Wednesday. But the report warned that it would be difficult for the Palestinian Authority to make any additional progress while the Israeli occupation continued and peace talks remained stalled. |

| #6 Mind you, with all the mayhem worldwide of numerous territorries disputed, http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_territorial_disputes, its not good to have your disputed territory gain untoward notoriety. Israel should really just obliterate Palestine and take it back. It would be awesome. These tit for tat thinkers globally are lame. Japan and Korea fighting over a tiny island with a cell tower is one example of this . |

| #3 The office of the UN special coordinator for the Middle East peace process is clearly mistaken in their understanding of the facts... or come from countries where the standards are different. |
