In his address to the United Nations Seminar of Assistance to the Palestinian People held in Cairo, Gershon Baskin said that the Israelis and the Palestinians did not have the tools or ability to resolve the conflict by themselves.
During Pessah this year let us remember that the experience of slavery has created for us a deep consciousness and a passionate commitment to freedom and justice as incorporated in the Torah. We vow to remember that we were once slaves in Egypt and today we can retell our story of liberation. Let us truly become free, free from occupation, free from conflict and free to build peace with our neighbours.
Gershon Baskin thinks that by taking the initiative of creating the international interim governing authority in Palestine, Israel can ensure the orderly takeover of control of territories from which it seeks to withdraw.
