Much more effort is also needed regionally. Will countries and peoples in neighboring countries be asked to help Palestinians realize their statehood? Will Jordan and Egypt be asked to help provide essentials, such as fuel, electricity and basic food products? How will such materials be made available? Will Palestinian leaders ask these neighboring Arab countries to secure the borders? Will other Arab countries be asked to help in this process?
Finally, what is the international strategy? The PA has been producing relatively good results in some countries, but this is being done almost entirely without the solidarity movements.
Israel and its supporters might be able to pressure governments, and the US Congress, but they will be unable to stop the vast people-based international support that needs to be garnered.
The realization of Palestinian statehood needs a holistic internal, regional and international strategy. Such a strategy will require leadership, national unity and sacrifice.
