From “Shrinking” to “Singing” the Conflict – Bennett’s Attempts to Beautify the Occupation / Arieli, Shaul

Arieli, Shaul	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

The concept “shrinking the conflict” formulated by Micah Goodman in his book Catch 67 and used by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett only serves to deepen the gap between the Israeli Government's rhetoric and its actual policy. Bennett increasingly resembles former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his early days, when he would feign to the U.S. Administration a readiness to negotiate a resolution of the conflict while actually doing the opposite, as he later admitted. Let's hope that Bennett will not be tempted to announce the gradual annexation of Judea and “Samaria.”

There Is No Other Solution / Arieli, Shaul

Arieli, Shaul	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

In recent years we have witnessed the publication of various ideas for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict which are not based on a two-state solution: federation and confederation. Their emergence is driven by two main working assumptions — first, that the mixing of populations between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea undermines the feasibility of a two-state solution. In this view, the possibility of a two-state solution has finally been eliminated by the Israeli settlement enterprise in the West Bank, for Israel cannot evacuate the 30,000 families living in the isolated settlements and re absorb them into Israel. The second assumption is that the two-state solution cannot lead to the end of the conflict because of the affinity each of the two sides has for the entire territory and the need and the right of each side to move and settle in its entirety.

Trump Plan Sets the Conflict Back 100 Years / Arieli, Shaul

Arieli, Shaul	Journal Article

Summary/Abstract

It took 71 years for the Palestinian national movement to join the international community by recognizing the latter’s decisions. It took Israel 15 years to accept the United Nations’ decisions as a basis for a resolution of the conflict with the Palestinians. Yet it took only four years for the Israeli government, headed by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and with the backing of U.S. President Donald J. Trump, to backtrack from this. The “Deal of the Century” sets the conflict back 100 years.
