Biden may succeed where his predecessors failed : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 5/7/2021

President Biden may well succeed in forging an Israeli-Palestinian peace by restating in the strongest terms that a two-state solution remains the only viable option and works to create the conditions on the ground to that end.

Yeah, because that worked so well in the 70 years prior to Trump.

I like our own Prime Minister believe in miracles.

Israel relies so much on Us support and money.
Hopefully President Biden will be able to maintain
a strong stance for a two state solution. Everything
else has been tried - this is worth doing.

Israel has to be realistic. Things cannot continue as
they have to date. They can't expect to continue to do the
same thing over and over again and expect different results.
That as Einstein
said- is the definition of insanity.

I agree with the author's argument: "Given the complexity of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the ingrained mutual hatred, distrust, and hostility, and the growing loss of confidence that peace is attainable, the Biden administration must insist that both parties engage in a process of government-to-government and people-to-people reconciliation. Such a process would certainly mitigate distrust, reduce the level of hostility, and open the door for growing cooperation."
I think that this is an opportunity not to be missed and I am sure that Biden's government has the capability and diplomacy to see this through to a successful end.

Considering that Trump stopped the funding to the Palestinians because most of it was being diverted to officials pockets or to purchasing weapons, restoring this funding is hardly going to improve the peace process.

Struth shadowminister, did you really write that without blushing?

"Considering that Trump stopped the funding to the Palestinians because most of it was being diverted to officials pockets or to purchasing weapons, restoring this funding is hardly going to improve the peace process."

Where do you thing most of the funds from the US go to when they are piped off to Israel, particularly given the high levels of corruption before the courts at the moment including that of Israel's former PM?
