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.
What’s the difference between an area over which a nation has total sovereignty and a nation-state?
Is he proposing Palestine have total sovereignty over it’s territory?
Gantz would recognize a Palestinian state
Extremely good if true.
though he’d still probably call it an entity. This is mostly owing to internal Israeli politics, though he also insists on calling it an Israeli entity too, saying that new language is needed to solve the problem. I think the language is weird, but I couldn’t give a shit as long as he’s describing a state.
Oh I agree. So long as it’s a state, the language is all politics
From the linked article for the people who don’t click through: "In surveys carried out by his party, most Israelis are in favour of a two-state solution when it is described in other terms, such as “two separate entities.”’
Well I hope the Israeli government will get to a point where it recognises a sovereign Palestinian state. How likely is Gantz to win the next election?
He seems to support a two-state solution and a completely sovereign Palestinian state. He also seems serious enough about it that he’s trying to find language to thread the needle of domestic politics to make it more popular with Israelis (and not give Netanyahu any room to attack him). If the language of a two-state solution isn’t viable, the easiest thing for a politician to do would be to just steer clear of it. That he’s taken the time to recognize that the concept is viable with different language suggests that he’s pretty committed to it.
It’s almost certain he’ll win the next election. Latest polling puts trust in Netanyahu at 4%. If the election were held today, Gantz would win in a landslide. The worst attack in the history of the country happened on Netanyahu’s watch, there’s no way he’s not done when the conflict is over. Gantz is basically seen as the one who stepped in to save the country from Netanyahu’s failures.
Wtf, dodge of what?

Well that’s encouraging; I hope he comes through.
