The Abraham Accords’ implications for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 13/7/2022

By no means though have the Arab states abandoned the Palestinian cause, which will continue to haunt them and Israel until an independent Palestinian state is established.

If Israel was a state for all of its people rather than a Jewish state there would be no need for a separate Palestinian state. Boys and girl of different ethnicities and religions could go to school together, learn together, work together and marry each other without the intervention of clergy. A new, democratic nation could be formed. Much of the population is secular without religion and could accept that. Those who could not accept that could remain in their enclaves but would no longer be supported by the government.

David f. The negotiated two state solution, is the only viable option on the table, with a snowflakes chance in hell of success. All the other ifs buts and maybes just hot air ventilation and delay of the inevitable!

One could look at another solution. If all the land given over to Israel where returned to the Arabs and called Palestine? The Jews could share it as Palestinian citizens?

No?

Seems just as reasonable as your proffered solution.

No matter what Israel does, there will never be peace between it and the West-Bank's local Arabs who presently call themselves "Palestinians".

Why? Because these local Arabs never wanted independence. Even while they tactically claim to want it, they rejected all former offers of territory and statehood, very generous offers. What they really want, what they never gave up on, is to rejoin Syria, and they cannot get that so long as Israel (and Jordan) is physically in the way.

The author claims:
«To be sure, as long as there is no Israeli-Palestinian peace based on a two-state solution, the current normalization process will remain fragile at best»

Well not quite because there is one other way to strengthen and stabilise the normalization process: all Arab countries will be more than happy if Israel simply withdrew from the West Bank, even without signing any fake and impossible peace document with its treacherous locals!
