Part 9/10:
Contemporary discussions surrounding the two-state solution reveal a stark disconnect between international aspirations and Israeli public sentiment. Support for the two-state paradigm hovers around 20-25% among Jewish Israelis, with many feeling that given current circumstances—especially since October 7—a Palestinian state is untenable.
The expansion of Israeli settlements further complicates the feasibility of a two-state solution, leading to a prevailing narrative that opposes surrendering land. Instead, some surveys indicate that a growing number of Israelis now support annexation, revealing a significant shift in perspective towards enduring control over the West Bank.
