The prime minister said he won’t allow the Palestinian Authority to take over Gaza, his sharpest comments yet against the White House plan for after the war.
I appreciate the detailed response. I didn’t say that Israel was willing to make concessions and Palestinians were not. I said that the two populations have factions, some of whom will make concessions.
Yes, it is true that the Palestinians were not being accorded full sovereignty in previous negotiations. The Camp David accords were understood as a “path to statehood”, not the final status. Palestinians were not in a position at the time to take on all the responsibilities of full statehood, and Israel was worried about outside forces like Iran and its proxies taking advantage of the relatively weak state of the PA to create a threat right on Israel’s front porch. Hence why they wanted to control the military and the borders of the nascent Palestinian proto-state. Don’t forget that the surrounding Muslim countries tried to kill Israel in its cradle several times, so Israel had every reason to worry about their security situation.
“in its cradle” is about the most dishonest representation of Israel declaring its statehood upon the land of Palestine as a Jewish ethnostate and forcibly displacing 750,000 Palestinians from their family homes as I have seen

Calm down. Your hair-trigger outrage is showing.
