First, the next phase in the peace process, the establishment of autonomy in the West Bank and Gaza strip, will never work out without the participation and cooperation of at least some Palestinian elements inside those territories. I believe the greater part of the population would have gladly accepted such an autonomy, not because the parameters offered are the ideal ones for them, but because this would signify the first positive step in the right direction.

...prepared to take on the task of administering the West Bank's self-government, as called for by the Camp David accords. Hussein is unquestionably uneasy about Sadat's suggestion that one way to break the deadlock would be to start by establishing self-rule in Gaza under Egyptian administration. To offset Cairo's influence in Gaza, Hussein has stepped up his country's activities in the West Bank. Among other things, the Jordanians have conducted a census in the territory, announced plans to open passport offices there for the first time in twelve years...
