Israel’s Right, Cheering Donald Trump’s Win, Renews Calls to Abandon 2-State Solution

By ISABEL KERSHNERNOV. 14, 2016



JERUSALEM — Emboldened by the Republican sweep of last week’s American elections, right-wing members of the Israeli government have called anew for the abandonment of a two-state solution to the conflict with the Palestinians.

“The combination of changes in the United States, in Europe and in the region provide Israel with a unique opportunity to reset and rethink everything,” Naftali Bennett, Israel’s education minister and the leader of the pro-settlement Jewish Home party, told a gathering of the Foreign Press Association in Jerusalem on Monday.

Mr. Bennett, who advocates annexing 60 percent of the occupied West Bank to Israel, exulted on the morning after Donald J. Trump’s victory: “The era of a Palestinian state is over.”

That sentiment was only amplified when Jason Greenblatt, a lawyer and co-chairman of the Trump campaign’s Israel Advisory Committee, told Israel’s Army Radio that Mr. Trump did not consider West Bank settlements to be an obstacle to peace, in a stark reversal of longstanding American policy.

There are lots of articles on this topic saying the "2 state solution" may go by the wayside.

I know what it basically is but not much about the intricacies.

I agree.

No "two-state solution".

Instead, a "one-state" solution:
Israel.

Annex the West Bank.
Tell the rest of the world to pound sand.

The muslims there can either remain as Israeli citizens, or... leave.
