Bolivian president says he’ll recognize Palestine

In an interview with Israel’s Channel 2 TV, Fayyad denies that the Palestinians will seek unilateral recognition or any other alternative to a two-state solution.
Fayyad is credited with an economic upturn in the West Bank and improving law and order after a decade of violence. He has earned praise for taking steps to build a Palestinian state from the ground up and by renouncing violence against Israel.
In a rare address to the Israeli public, he urged people not to give up hope for peace.
He said in the interview broadcast Saturday that “we should not be discouraged because we have failed so many times before.”
