“Listen up. I am Jordanian, and I tell you that the two-state solution
is dead, stone cold. And I’ll tell you why.

Back in 1994, when Yitzhak Rabin was ready to hand the Palestinians a
state on a silver platter, who was the loudest voice against it?
Benjamin Netanyahu. And what did the world call him? A radical, an enemy
of peace, a warmonger. Even inside Israel, many thought he was being
extreme. But was he?

Bibi’s argument was simple: You don’t hand a state to people who openly declare that your country has no right to exist and that their ultimate
goal is to wipe you off the map. That’s not a “peace process”, that’s national suicide.

He understood the security risks. A Palestinian state in Judea and
Samaria (the West Bank) would leave Israel a mere 9 miles wide at its
narrowest point. That’s nothing. That’s an easy invasion route. That’s a security nightmare. It would take minutes to cut Israel in half and
massacre its people.

But did Israel listen? Of course not. In 2000, Ehud Barak came back and sweetened the deal. He offered Arafat a state again. Thank God Arafat
said no. And why did he say no? Because he never wanted a state, he
wanted Israel gone.

Fast forward to 2005. Ariel Sharon tried another approach. He said,
“Fine, let’s give them a test run.” So he pulled every single Jew out of Gaza, 70,000 settlers, forcibly removed. He even went so far as to dig
up Jewish graves to ensure Gaza was 100% Judenrein. No excuses left. The Palestinians had a chance to prove they could run a state.

So what did they do? Did they build hospitals, schools, and
infrastructure? Did they work on nation-building? Did they take this
golden opportunity and create a thriving mini-state to prove to the
world that they were ready for independence?

Nope. Instead, they turned Gaza into a terrorist launchpad. Since 2005,
Gaza has been a rocket factory, a jihadist training camp, and a tunnel
network straight out of a horror movie. Billions in aid poured in, and
instead of building a future, Hamas built weapons to destroy Israel.

So let’s go back to the original question: Who was right, the dreamers
who kept offering the Palestinians a state or Bibi Netanyahu, who warned
them this would be a disaster?

The answer is clear. Bibi was right. The Palestinians never cared about statehood. They only cared about destroying the Jewish state.

And this is the part most people don’t want to say out loud: This
conflict was never about “occupation.” That was always a lie. The West
Bank and Gaza are just convenient excuses. The real issue is Islamic jihad.

Bibi understands this better than anyone. The people Israel has been negotiating with for decades don’t want borders. They want annihilation. It’s not about compromise. It’s about erasing Israel from the map.

So, no, the two-state solution isn’t “dying.” It’s already dead. And it’s been dead since the first time Israel tried to make peace with
people who don’t believe in peace.”

Thanks for supporting my long-held view that Gaza was a prototype of the “Two-state solution”. With the 20–20 vision of hindsight, it was clearly not a solution.

It’s nice to see that non-Israelis can understand. For Israelis, it’s existential. When Jordan allowed Palestinians in, they tried to kill
your King and overthrow your country.
