In a BBC radio programme broadcast Saturday, the Premier said that he Palestinian National Authority (PNA) needed to have sole control over arms in the territories for any unity to be enduring, he said in the panel debate, recorded in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Fayyad added that the private investors vital for kick-starting the Palestinian economy would never be attracted to the territories unless they had confidence that they would remain stable.
Fayyad was speaking at a debate that also included the Middle East Quartet envoy Tony Blair and Israel
'The current situation, in terms of apartness and separation, is something that has to end, it's exceptional, adding to do it, we really all need to be on the same page as to what is absolutely, positively required, Fayyad said.
'The PNA is not viewed as whole for all Palestinians in the WB and GS, meaning it having sole ownership over arms and weapons.'
