Ever.
We've failed too many times to say, oh yeah, eventually there's going to be kind of a two-state solution without doing that.
And so what we are saying is that we need to exactly flip that on its head.
I think that the recent moves of several states to recognize Palestine first was a step in that direction, right?
Not to say that the two-state solution is the end of the process, but a Palestinian state has to be the beginning of the process in order to get to a reality where we could actually make peace.
Things are changing in the Middle East and in Israel-Palestine in a way that they haven't in a very, very long time.
For the past 20 years, we have been under this false assumption that we can, again, not solve this conflict.
October 7th was not a security problem.
It's a political problem.
It's an outcome of not solving the conflict.
Do we have all the answers?
Absolutely not.
We have invested 30 years in thinking about the paradigm of separation for peace, which I think today is impossible to achieve and also not desirable if we learn from other conflicts.
We haven't invested...
nearly anything in trying to elaborate a vision like this that learns from mistakes of the past and learns from other conflicts that have been solved sustainably.
That is what we need to do today.
This is not to say that security is not our number one concern, as what I said, security for both people, right?
Because a lot of the time we say security, we mean security for Israeli Jews.
That has been part of the, I would say, problem with the international discourse around this.
But I, as an Israeli, trust and know that we have the technical capacity in Israel to deal with this challenge.
