Israel's Two-State Solution Saga Post-Gaza Conflict
In an interview with Sky News, Israeli Ambassador to the UK Tzipi Hotovely, a former ultra-right politician with cabinet posts under her belt, dismisses the two-state solution as a distant dream after the Gaza conflict. Hotovely laments the failure of the Oslo peace process, blaming the Palestinians' unwillingness to coexist with Israel as the root cause.
Meanwhile, the Israeli Minister for Social Equality, Amichai Chikli, from the Likud party, doesn't shy away from exploring the possibility of establishing Israeli settlements in Gaza's "sensible" areas. He further implies that the Palestinian Authority's involvement in Gaza's administration after the conflict is a non-starter.
You Know What Else is Hot?
Out of the frying pan and straight into the fire, the UN's appeal for a ceasefire littering the winds as Israeli leaders maintain their firm opposition to the two-state solution post-conflict.
Thinking Beyond the Headlines
Despite varied perspectives within Israeli politics, voices supporting the two-state solution are overshadowed by an overwhelmingly skeptical atmosphere. Led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister Amichai Chikli, this climate of skepticism generally aligns with the US administration's viewpoint, suggesting that a traditional two-state solution may not be the panacea for Israel's security concerns.[1][2][4]
