Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently visited Middle Eastern capitals speaking about the importance of creating an “irrevocable” path to a Palestinian state. Douglas Murray comments:
As Israeli politicians of left, right, and center have told me in recent months, even if you believe that the Palestinians should be given another state, now is not the time to discuss it. To push for a two-state solution now is to say to the Palestinians “You carried out a horrific terror attack on October 7th, and as a reward you will be given another state.” I wonder how many more terror attacks will come about by incentivizing terror in this way?
But the other reason why it is so wicked is that since 2005 we know what a Palestinian state in the West Bank would look like. It would not just be one more failed Arab state. It would be another Palestinian terror state. One which had views over the entirety of Israel and where the rockets could this time easily hit Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Ben-Gurion airport.
Two-states? It’s not a solution. It’s part of the problem.
