"This makes it harder and harder, without a peace agreement, maintain Israel as a Jewish and democratic state," he added. And the third factor is the emergence of a "new Arab generation is reshaping the region. Achieving a just and lasting peace can no longer depend on one or two Arab leaders. Looking ahead, millions of Arab citizens who have to see that it is possible to achieve a lasting peace. "
