BBC NEWS | Middle East | Bush renews Palestinian state vow

"The US leader said he had assured Mr Abbas that 'the US would use its influence to help realise a shared vision of two democratic states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security'. "

If and when a Palestinian state is established opposite Israel, the world will watch to see if a Palestinian economy can match that of Israel. Where will they generate capital and industry in a land bereft of natural resources?
