in retrospect, you're here at the u.n. would it have been better to await u.n. authority to go in?
It's always better to have U.N. authority. The issue, however, as I discovered in Kosovo and indeed elsewhere, is what happens if the U.N. is effectively politically deadlocked?

The question then is once you actually then had the U.N. authority, after the removal of Saddam, as I say, from mid-2003 onwards, we were then facing a quite different type of battle, and that's the battle we still face today, frankly.

Well, the Palestinian Authority actually speaks on the peace negotiation role of Palestinians. But it's correct, as you imply, that you've got Gaza and the West Bank separated.

The single best way to bring them back together again, behind a coherent peace process, is for us to make a political negotiation, which we've now begun, for a two-state solution - a secure state of Israel, independent, viable state of Palestine - and then to match that with the measures that I work on particularly for...

And in that regard, I have no doubt at all that if we manage to push forward towards that two-state solution, people in Gaza will want to be part of it rather than separated out from it.

Well, it's a big challenge right now, and we're working hard to find a way through it. I mean, the key thing on settlements is this: If you're going to negotiate an independent, viable, Palestinian state, then you obviously don't want anything happening in the meantime that prejudices the outcome of that negotiation.

And some of those settlements may remain, and they'll be swapped for land that will be given in exchange by Israel. There may be other solutions that we find to this.
