HIRSH GOODMAN is a senior research associate at the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University.
He firmly believes in a multi-state solution. He think a one-state solution
would be a recipe for continued conflict.
"Ultimately, the resolution is
going to look like Switzerland. There are going to be three independent
sovereign nations; Gaza, governed by Hamas, until they decide otherwise;
Israel, with its majority Jewish population and minority Arab
population; and Palestine with its ’67 borders. There will be three
sovereign states with a federal governing body to deal with issues like
traffic protocol and so on. Israel has to negotiate separately with Gaza
and with the PA. Gaza and Hamas want a ceasefire and the PA wants
peace".
In my point of view, it's an impossible solution. Unfortunately.
Switzerland is a nation
united around Christian values (despite of two different branches:
Catholics and Protestants), around common enemies. Modern Israel is a nation of
two religions: Islam and Judaism. And there are no common foe for
Palestinians and Jews. For now, it would be better to divorce peacefully
and live in peace.
