The White House is offering the Saudis a formal defense treaty, civilian nuclear plants, and a chance to boast that they got Israel to agree to a “Palestinian” State.

"The people of Israel choose life, and life means security and security means defeating our enemies, but also standing together for our common civilization."

Secretary of State Blinken "underscored the U.S. commitment to the realization of the creation of an independent Palestinian state with security guarantees for Israel."

"I say to them in a clear manner...It's on you to take an immediate decision to recognize a Palestinian state," said Mansour Abbas in an Arabic-language interview.

"We want the war to end to devote ourselves to the future of the Gaza Strip."

Netanyahu pointed out that US citizens overwhelmingly support Israel over Hamas.

"If we can call elections by the end of March, there is still time to hold elections in June, which is critical," said Barak - in order to create a "Palestinian" state.

"Israel utterly rejects international diktats regarding a permanent settlement with the Palestinians," the text begins.

"Why do you think that we should make a country out of a people that just conducted a Jewish genocide four months ago?" Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) asked the Biden administration official.

Benny Gantz also stated outright that he opposes the creation of a "Palestinian" state.

"The October 7 lesson is that retreat brings terror. The October 8 lesson is that the Palestinian Authority = Hamas, with the same motivations, only with less capabilities. "Kfar Saba will not be Kfar Gaza."

All the Jewish State has to agree to is erect two terrorist enclaves on its borders.

Such an eventuality would "embolden Hamas and make the PLO irrelevant," the Israeli minister told JNS.

It's “shocking" that a U.S. administration would push for a Palestinian state under ordinary circumstances, let alone after Oct. 7, said former U.S. Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt.

The normalization of relations with the Saudis was one of the carrots the Biden administration has been dangling before the Israeli leadership.

“Do you support or oppose the notion that as part of a deal to end the war—which will include long-term military quiet, guarantees from the United States, and an agreement with Arab states such as Saudi Arabia—Israel should agree to the establishment of a Palestinian state?”

The major foreign policy shift would face deep opposition within Israel.

Forty-eight of 100 lawmakers in the upper chamber joined the call.

The EU are frustrated Prime Minister Netanyahu, whom they see as the main obstacle to their two-state vision.

“First Netanyahu fails Israel by basing a highly-inadequate portion of the IDF near Gaza in the months before Oct. 7. Then he ignores the warnings of Oct. 6. Then this,” wrote Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.).

The plan also envisions normalization between Israel and the Arab world, the release of captives and a new regime in Gaza.

The Israeli prime minister reportedly dismissed the proposal, brought to him by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

In the wake of Oct. 7, far-left NGO Mitvim started strategizing so as not to miss a "historic" opportunity.

A two-state solution is part of “the basic recipe" for peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors, said the U.S. National Security Advisor.

Last week the campaign matured into actual sanctions on “extremist settlers.”

“The House of Representatives confirms that the Israeli ambassador to the Kingdom of Bahrain has left Bahrain, and the Kingdom of Bahrain decided to return the Bahraini ambassador from Israel to the country.”

The Saudis are not pressuring Israel to make hefty concessions to the Palestinian Authority.

In September 2014, Israel and New Zealand clashed after New Zealand had assigned an ambassador to Israel and to the Palestinian Authority.

For Netanyahu, a peace agreement with Saudi Arabia would be a game changer.

There is no reason to think the Saudis want anything less as a condition for normalization, in addition to US security guarantees and nuclear technology.
