How to build a Palestinian state - with Haviv Rettig Gur

Subscribe to Call Me Back - with Dan SenorSubscribe

Haviv Rettig Gur of the TIMES OF ISRAEL returns for his weekly check-in from Israel.

There has been a recent flurry of statements coming out of London, Washington, Brussels and the UN about the need to move on the recognition (or establishment) of a Palestinian state. Some have even argued for bypassing discussions about conceptualization, timelines, and milestones, and instead proceed straight to implementation. The EU’s Foreign Minister, Josep Borrell, has said, “I don’t think we should talk about the Middle East peace process anymore. We should start talking specifically about the two-state-solution implementation process.”

What are these voices actually advocating for? What previous obstacles to a Palestinian state have been removed by the October 7 massacre?

What would it actually take to build a Palestinian state that is grounded in the post-10/07 brutal reality of Israelis?

Essay discussed in this episode: "The Two-State Delusion" in TABLET, by Elliott Abrams.
