The prime minister said he won’t allow the Palestinian Authority to take over Gaza, his sharpest comments yet against the White House plan for after the war.
The PA recognizes the Two State Solution. Netanyahu doesn’t. It’s the Palestinians who are the reasonable ones and that don’t have an interlocutor in the other side. If someone like Barak were to take over in Israel we would be very close to peace.
Palestinians dislike PA precisely because it’s a collaborationist government which Israel uses to manage their occupation. Even now the PA is helpless against Israeli attacks in the West Bank.
The PA was intended to manage the Israeli withdrawal and establishment of an independent Palestinian state, as agreed upon in the Oslo Accords, and yes that was meant to be a collaborative process with the Israelis. There were people on both sides who were serious about the peace process, but unfortunately the people in charge often weren’t, and so the situation deteriorated until Hamas and Likud, the two worst possible parties to oversee the peace process, consolidated power.
Are you sure? So why they dismissed all 2-state solution offers from Israel and did not come up with any counter offers.
PA is anything but reasonable. They fail to guarantee basic human rights of their citizens. Even most of Palestinians don’t support them because they are completely useless. And a category on its own is Abbas - A billionaire whilst his own people ride donkeys.
More than half of people in the Gaza strip are too young to have voted in the last election which was almost two decades ago, and since then Israel just got worse.
I definitely don’t want them to attack neighboring countries as that usually causes more harm than good.
The far better solution is, as you have mentioned, protest or inform others nations/UN about it. If suddenly hundreds of thousands young people in a population of 2 million start pointing at Hamas’ atrocities, it very probably won’t be left unnoticed.
Needless to say I quite regret those people as their lives must be terrible. However, terrorism is not a solution.
No, it isn’t. Abbas is old, absolutely corrupt (probably even more than netanyahu) and he did literally nothing for Palestinians. So no, PA is not good enough to make peace.
Palestinian authority is not ideal. Still it’s far better if they manage Gaza rather than Netanyahu.
Both are quite terrible tho…

But I agree that Barak was far better.
Because after decades of continued oppression they’re more desperate than ever before? It’s not rocket science what’s happening.
So because they have a terrorist government which oppresses civilians does it mean they can organise terrorists attacks on their neighbours?
What do you want them to do? Protest?

History didn’t end with past failed negotiations.
You don’t have to like the PA in every way, you just need to have two parties ready to make peace. Perfect is the enemy of good enough.
For the moment the PA is good enough to make peace. The Israeli government is not.
No, it isn’t. Abbas is old, absolutely corrupt (probably even more than netanyahu) and he did literally nothing for Palestinians. So no, PA is not good enough to make peace.
All these are irrelevant when it comes to making peace.
I would say they are quite relevant. The most relevant point being not even majority support him.
