Who said it&#8217;s the solution? It&#8217;s probably the problem. I say it&#8217;s the two-state illusion,&#8221; Sa\u2019ar said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;The fact is that we already tried this genius idea,&#8221; Sa&#8217;ar continued, \u201cWe did it when we totally withdrew in 2005 from [the] Gaza Strip. What was called, at the time, the disengagement plan, 20 years ago. We dismantled all our military camps, all our communities, even the graves from the cemeteries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cBut still, the way they responded [was] to build the largest terror kingdom on earth. And it took a very short time after when they attacked time and again with missiles. And it took 16 years from the day that Hamas took over [the] Gaza Strip [in 2007] to Oct. 7,&#8221; Sa\u2019ar said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Newly appointed Israeli minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Saar attends a replacing ceremony at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jerusalem on November 10, 2024.

However, if one visits their jails, Sa\u2019ar pointed out, \u201cThere [are] no terrorists there. So, the concept was to give them independence, and they will take care of the security. But not only didn&#8217;t they do that, but our security situation deteriorated because every place we left became a huge base of terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He argued that giving them a state with \u201ccontrol over the border, over the sky,\u201d and allowing them to form alliances with radical actors, would be suicide from the point of view of Israel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWe will have to live with the consequences,&#8221; he said, &#8220;and when they are giving slogans like &#8216;We will give you a state, but without Hamas&#8217;, who will enforce that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He stressed the short distance Gaza is from Jewish communities in Israel. \u201cIt&#8217;s like running 1 mile, 2 miles, and you can kill Jews.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;So, it is extremely dangerous for Israeli security, and this is why this idea that once was more popular, in Israel almost no one supports that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/articles\/tried-failed-palestinian-state-suicidal-160915736.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several Western countries have said that they will back recognition of a Palestinian state, expressing frustration over Israel&rsquo;s conduct in its war<br \/><button class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/world\/palestinian-state-would-be-suicidal-for-israel-fm-tells-newsmax\/15\/08\/2025\/\">Read More &rsaquo;<\/a><\/button><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":51671,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/jerusalem_post_articles_818\/7e1f96d70ba9cc3c38fe464219c8d070","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51670"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51670"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51670\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
