Just in time for Easter, another resurrection was recently proposed by Martin Indyk, twice US ambassador to Israel, in the journal Foreign Affairs:
“[The] allegedly dead two-state solution…resurrected by U.S. President Joe Biden and his top national security officials…is the only way to create lasting peace among the Israelis, the Palestinians, and the Arab countries of the Middle East”.
“And how an unimaginable war could bring about the only imaginable peace”.
Curiously, like President Joe Biden and his top national security officials, the ambassador ignores a crucial element: radical Islam does not tolerate the existence of a sovereign non-Islamic entity (such as Israel) on land that once was conquered by Muslims (dar al-Islam, “abode of Islam”). As most Palestinians have been creditably straightforward about, there is no place for an Israeli state.
