Fayyad: Regional changes to positively affect state prospects
None
Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said he is optimistic following political changes in Egypt, Tunisia and Sudan and estimated they will have a positive effect on the prospect of an independent Palestinian state.
Fayyad declared that the world now faces a moral dilemma by supporting the establishment of a south Sudanese state but not recognizing the Palestinian people's right for an independent state. (Elior Levy)
