Netanyahu: Israel to keep military control if two-state solution met

Even in case of a two-state solution between Israeli and the Palestinians, Israel will retain military control over all the Palestinian Territories, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday.

"In any case, with or without a permanent settlement, Israel will maintain full security control over all areas west of the Jordan River," including the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, Netanyahu said in a video message.

The US, Israel's most important ally, have been increasingly calling for a two-state solution that foresees the peaceful co-existence of Israel and a Palestinian state, based on the borders of the Palestinian Territories occupied by Israel since 1967 - the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.

Washington is also pushing for a two-state solution as a means to end both the current Gaza war and the decades-old Middle East conflict.

1. Netanyahu always makes me think of Trump.

What a pair.

2. This is President Biden's fault somehow.

I don't know how, but someone will show up to tell us.

3. He Can't Have That, It's Nonesense

The government of a state has a monopoly on the use of violence within its boundaries. Full stop. If it does not, it is not governing a state.

This is just occupation by another name.

4. Warmonger Netanyahu is nuts. That'll never fly and it won't be a legitimate...

two-state solution, just a platform for Israeli to retain control of the region.

The cycle of violence will just continue as the Palestinians will still feel the iron grip of Israel over their lives and will rebel against it.

5. You can't call a country a sovereign nation if another country is controlling it

by military force. That would be akin to Germany controlling Poland, Czechoslovakia, France, Belgium, etc.

6. No. N/T

7. On the bright side, Bibi is now admitting that a two state solution

is a possible outcome. I think Biden may finally be getting through to Netanyahu. Hopefully the IDF offensive wraps up in the near future and something resembling peace breaks out for a little while.

Of course peace requires commitments by both the Israelis and the Palestinians.
