Gadi Eisenkot, the former Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army and leader of the "Yesh Atid" party, strongly opposed the two-state solution. He described the establishment of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel as "a grave mistake." He considered that contemplating a two-state solution after Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023, is either crazy or illusory, clarifying that this solution, as stipulated by United Nations resolutions, is now at odds with the Israeli government's policies of settlement expansion and violence against Palestinians. Eisenkot also criticized the timing of the planned construction of settlement units in "E1" east of Jerusalem, which isolates East Jerusalem and complicates the implementation of a two-state solution. He warned that the escalation of settlements and settler violence threaten Israel’s legitimacy and hinder peace, although he generally supports settlement activity.
