Palestinians may seek single state

Ahmed Qureia, the Palestinian prime minister, warned yesterday that he would seek a single state of Jews and Arabs if Ariel Sharon unilaterally annexed parts of the West Bank and imposed borders on Palestine.
Mr Qureia, in an interview with Reuters, said his administration would abandon trying for an independent country and campaign for equal rights for Palestinians in a bi-national state incorporating the occupied territories into Israel.

Most Israelis strongly oppose unification because the number of Arabs is expected to overtake the Jewish majority in a few years. There are about 4.7m Arabs and 5.5m Jews in Israel and the occupied territories.

In Washington, the US secretary of state, Colin Powell, said separation, not integration, was the only solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "I believe that's the only solution that will work: a state for the Palestinian people called Palestine and a Jewish state, state of Israel, which exists."
