" am grateful for your comments. Friends are those who tell you the truth, even if it is hard to hear,” I told the group of Palestinian leaders. “I understand your distrust—it is born through painful experience. You are right to have these questions and concerns. Here is the key point: you refer to us as the leaders of the project but that is not how we see ourselves. Yes, we have been studying the social and economic potential of this path. The true leaders, however, can only be the peoples in the region and here in this place the leaders must be Palestinians. We can study the possibilities and we can lend our support to overcome obstacles, but the leadership role belongs to you. And there is no rush. We can wait until you tell us you are ready. Tell us what you would like to do. "
