This has been going on for so long. The question for today is the same as the first day it ever came up. Who cares whether they declare a Palestinian State? Or don't declare? Or declare and look triumphant?

Who cares if they declare unilaterally? Or bilaterally? Or multilaterally?

Whatever they declare has zip to do with anything Israel does or doesn't do regarding internal security.

Not sure, but, if they declare, they may need to state a capital and if I recall correctly they want part or all of Jerusalem. Now, THAT could pose a problem to Israel amd its internal security, wouldn't it?

Was not Arafat offered statehood? And did he not turn it down?

Was it not Ariel Sharon's objective to unilaterally declare Palestinian statehood, even if the PA didn't want it -- once Israel's borders were secure?

Seems to me a grant of statehood for Palestine on the terms mentioned simply sets up a border war.

A very short war that Israel will undoubtedly win...
