Robert talks to Patrick Clawson, Director for Research at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, and then with Ze'ev Schiff, a military analyst for the daily Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, about a call by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak for a "unilateral separation" of Israelis and Palestinians.
