"Certainly when you read about a peace plan, naturally you may think,'what the hell does it have to do with reality?'", said Ehud Olmert, former prime minister of Israel, referring to the plan he recently proposed with Nasser al-Kidwa, a former foreign affairs minister of the Palestinian National Authority. "I think, and Mr. al-Kidwa thinks, there is no better time to raise these ideas than now, because of the fact that we are engaged in a brutal war that has to be ended as soon as possible."
