/ The Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process
Contrary to the lies of the coalition and the cowardice of some in the opposition, like Gantz, who portray recognition of a Palestinian state as a “reward for Hamas,” the truth is precisely the opposite. The reward is first and foremost for us, the citizens of Israel. We Israelis need a Palestinian state no less than the Palestinians do, because such a state would free us from the burden of occupation. The burden has been eroding us for decades and, in the past year, has become unbearable, dragging us into moral and political depths and endangering Israel itself.
