Jag känner inte till något om partiet i övrigt, men de har en intressant lösning på konflikten om Västbanken:
Instead of a two-state solution, Bennett has proposed the unilateral annexation of Area C, the 60% of the West Bank that contains all Jewish settlements and is currently under Israeli military control. Palestinians living in Area C could either take Israeli citizenship or relocate to the Palestinian-governed 40% of the West Bank.
Bennett conceded that the international community would strongly oppose such a plan. “I don’t accept it’s illegal under international law, but I agree the world would not recognise [annexation]. The world hasn’t recognised Jerusalem as our capital, or the Western Wall as part of Israel, so this would just be another area that the world doesn’t recognise.”

Mounting European criticism of Israeli government policies, especially settlement expansion, was of concern, but was misguided, he said. “It’s a result of ignorance and lack of knowledge from our European friends. It’s also the result of a confused policy from our own government, which sends mixed messages. You can agree or disagree with my views, but I’m very clear: a Palestinian state would be a disaster for the next 200 years and would ensure continuous strife. What we are facing is a determined Muslim entity that wants to destroy Israel.”
Det finns idag inget folkligt mandat för en tvåstatslösning bland palestinierna, och det finns heller ingen demokrati i de palestinska områdena. En tvåstatslösning är idag helt orealistisk och även om väst satte press på palestinierna skulle det ta tiotals år innan opinionen börjar förändras.
Så Bennett har mycket rätt i sin analys – fredsprocessen är död.
Intressant utveckling i Israel.
