I don't know that we wouldn't be having this conversation right now because at every turn the answer has always been tighter control over areas that Palestinians live in and more bombing and more things. I don't necessarily know that that's the case. And All the Arab states in 2002 offered Israel to normalize relations for the granting of a Palestinian state and Israel rejected it. And Rabin, who was trying to make peace in that area with the Palestinians, was assassinated not by Hamas, but by an Israeli extremist. (1:07:03–1:07:13)

CLAIM

Asserts that in 2002, Arab states offered Israel normalization in exchange for a Palestinian state, which Israel rejected.
