Two reasons for this failure stand out: the institutional weakness of Palestinian civil society, which lacks the infrastructure necessary for nation-building; and the impossibility of simultaneous nation-building and peace-making. There is no precedent anywhere in the world that suggests that such a two-tier process can succeed.
两大原因导致了这样的失败：其一是巴勒斯坦公民社会的制度弱点，缺乏建国所必须的基础设施；另外则是不可能同时完成建国和维和两大任务。全世界还没有任何先例表明这样一种双重目标的努力能够取得成功。
