ANALYSIS: PA’s Abbas professes desire for 2-state-solution, but will never actualize it

 

Although the Fatah run Palestinian Authority, led by autocrat Mahmoud Abbas, publicly endorses a 2-state-solution to the US, UN, EU etc., the moment a Palestinian state was to gain independence, Hamas would eradicate Fatah exactly as it did in Gaza in 2007, and ‘Abbas and Associates’ know this as a guaranteed outcome…which is why Abbas is in his 12th year of a 4 year term as president…and having never agreed to peace offers by Israel.

By Hillel Fendel

 

Why does the PA oppose a two-state solution? It’s simple: Without the IDF to protect it, Fatah would be swallowed up by Hamas. Continue Reading »

Announcing new alternative: The New State Solution

 

Op-ed: The New State Solution appears to merit serious consideration in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, after decades of failed attempts at the 2-state solution, that multiple int’l institutions and leaders have subscribed to, but failed terribly.
– It’s time that other ideas be allowed to enter the public discourse.

By Benjamin Anthony/Our Soldiers Speak

 

When President Obama leaves office, yet another US administration will depart without resolution of the Israeli – Palestinian conflict.

As with all incoming administrations, a Trump presidency ushers in the opportunity to review, retain, or revise the terms of long-standing policies, including those relating to the Middle East. Continue Reading »

By Israel Today Staff

Analysis: Palestinian intransigence, not Israeli settlements, is the obstacle to peace

 

In an honest, objective analysis, it would indicate that the main obstacle to peace and to a viable Palestinian state is Palestinian intransigence and their leaders constant incitement to violence, and not Jewish settlements that have become the scapegoat for obsessive, irrational Israel haters.

By Prof. Michael Curtis

 

Why are United Nations officials so oblivious to their own documents, let alone to the truth? This appears to be the case with Nicolay Mladenov, the Bulgaria-born UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process.

Nicolay Mladenov – Wikipedia

He appears to be unaware of the crucial cornerstone document on the Process for a just and lasting peace, the UN Security Council Resolution 242 of November 22, 1967. Continue Reading »

Analysis: Putin may be what’s missing after 23 yrs of same unattainable 2-state plan

 

For 23 years now, solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was based on only one 2-state plan and pushed by numerous unsuccessful US administrations that was never attractive enough for either side.

By Giora Eiland

 

Three and a half years ago, John Kerry took office as the American secretary of state. Like his five predecessors, he rushed to declare that he planned to put time and effort into the advancement of an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement based on the two-state principle. When asked why he thought he would be more successful than his predecessors, he provided a typical American answer: “We’ll work harder.” Continue Reading »
