In an interview with Sky News, Tzipi Hotovely, Israel’s Ambassador to the UK, rejected outright the concept of a two-state solution to resolve the Israel-Palestinian conflict that long preceded the current war with Hamas.
“The answer is absolutely no,” Hotovely said.
“The reason the Oslo Accords failed is because the Palestinians never wanted to have a state next to Israel – they want a state from the river to the sea.”
“So the two-state solution is dead?” the interviewer asked.
“Why are you obsessed with a formula that never worked, that created these radical people on the other side. Why are you obsessed with that?” Hotovely shot back.
This statement comes amid discussions by US officials about the involvement of a “reformed” and “revitalised” Palestinian Authority in the governance of Gaza when the ongoing conflict concludes.

100% Correct; ever since the idea of a Jewish state been discussed, the Palestinians outright objected multiple times a 2-state solution.
This is the reason why 5m so-called “refugees” are still cramped in various refugee camps, because they are still waiting 75 years since 1948 to destroy a “Jewish State” demographically.
No peace agreement can ignore 5m people and no Israeli government can allow the return of 5m Palestinians into mainland Israel.
2-state solution is not dead – it was never alive!
She is 100% correct- They do not want peace, they do not want a “two state solution”, they want the middle east Judenrein.
Trying to make peace W the palis is like trying to make peace with a gorrila.
A two state solution in which the Palestinian state is a disarmed, but fully self-governing, protectorate of Israel would solve most of the problems, and if it required the Palestinians to withdraw all claims on any territory not included in their “state” it would have meaning. The Israelis can insist on security control, and expect to have to pick up most of the bills, and can probably demand that the Palestinians approve the treaty in a referendum.
How is Biden still getting away with parroting “2 State Solution” without anyone saying anything?? Even someone not on Israel’s side should realise that it isn’t an option if he actually wants peace (as opposed to the first stage of Israel’s destruction)… in practice in any case there WAS a de-facto ‘Palestinian state’ in Gaza until now, and the outcome of that was the 7th October
