We have no resources," he said and repeated a previous offer to negotiate an arrangement based on Israel's withdrawing to pre-1967 borders. What about formal recognition of Israel? "Who is more in need of recognition," he asked, "Israel, which has a nuclear arsenal, great power and resources, or the Palestinian people?
