Only good news is the Israeli Palestinian collaboration to deal with the fires today & as a result, Israel cancelling its request for international help. I hope both Israelis & Palestinians realise that Americans can dump them just like die with Afghanistan & finalize a deal ASAP
The only reliable partners for Israelis should be the Palestinians and the only reliable partners for the Palestinians should be the Israelis. 70 years of Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs living together (regardless of political circumstances) means they are almost identical
Neither side - Israelis or Palestinians should let foreigners interfere: Americans, Arabs, Iranians, Turks etc etc. Just deal directly because as Afghanistan should teach us, don’t rely on foreign support
And I really hope, as the late Israeli president Ezer Weizman personally told me that he hopes Israel stops relying on American support to continue existing. And I’d say exactly same for Palestinians.
If Israelis and Palestinians wait for Americans or any other foreign power to impose a solution, it will never happen. They will only end up with ethnic cleansing of Jews and Arabs and never ending fighting just like in Afghanistan.
Only nations who are out of their mind would say to the Americans: Hello, you’ve done so well in Afghanistan, can you help us in Israel/Palestine please?
As a Palestinian, recognising Israel means recognising Israel as a Jewish, Hebrew speaking state, no ifs and no buts. Because the other side of the coin is a Muslim/Christian Arab-speaking Palestinian state. Everything else are minor details.
Demographics and territorial contiguity are no reason to define the viability of a Palestinian state. Those are just excuses used by those who don’t want a solution and want to perpetuate the conflict
