shows the GOP presidential candidate saying he believes peace in the
Said Romney: "I'm torn by two perspectives in
this regard. One is the one which I've had for some time, which is that the
Palestinians have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace, and that the
pathway to peace is almost unthinkable to accomplish... All right, we have a
potentially volatile situation but we sort of live with it, and we kick the
ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen

"On the other hand, I got a call from a
former secretary of state. I won't mention which one it was, but this
individual said to me, you know, I think there's a prospect for a settlement
between the Palestinians and the Israelis after the Palestinian elections. I
said, 'Really?' And, you know, his answer was, 'Yes, I think there's some
prospect.' And I didn't delve into it."
He added: "The idea of pushing on the
Israelis to give something up to get the Palestinians to act is the worst idea
in the world."
