Defiant Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu doubled down on opposition to Palestinian statehood, deepening the divide with Israel’s closest international allies, as cracks in his wartime “unity” government became increasingly evident.
Anger with Netanyahu is also increasingly visible on the streets, even though there is broad public support for the war. On Saturday, protesters gathered in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Caesarea and Kfar Saba, some calling for bolder action to secure the release of hostages, and others demanding the prime minister step down.
One in Jerusalem held a placard that read: “Mothers’ cry: we will not sacrifice our children in the war to save the rightwing.”
Netanyahu now seems to be making the same mistake Palestinians have been making for 70+ years…
Elaborate?
I meant that Palestine many times walked away from the table when a potential 2 state solution was being discussed.
I would never dare to blame them for not accepting Israel’s offer but they should have continued in talks.
Hence why kudos to Arafat and Rabin.
