Governments. You mentioned going to the arab regimes at the u. N. There have been lots of changes in the last several years of those government and i am wondering if you can give us an overview of where palestine stands in terms of those governments that are trying very hard to win support in washington particularly. Thank you very much for your time. Im with the institute of palestine studies. One question i know we are talking about the new leadership in the u. S.
