Remaining Steps for Two-State Plan
The article discusses the deterioration of opportunities for a two-state solution amidst the rapid Israeli settlement expansion and increased occupation of Palestinian territories. It highlights that Palestinians could have control over only about 8% of historic Palestine, compared to 92% for Israel, amid ongoing settlement construction and the expanding Israeli control over Gaza and the West Bank. The author explains that the Israeli escalation is provoking international opposition and destroying the possibility of establishing an independent Palestinian state, which would require Israel to withdraw from the territories occupied in 1967—something that has become unlikely given the on-the-ground changes and the Israeli right's continued support for expansion.
