The recent European Union report on Israeli activity exposes the seriousness of the threat to a two State solution.

The Convention does not legitimize Israeli practices in the Lebanese territories occupied by Israel. Furthermore, the Convention does not in any way justify Israeli practices or the continued Israeli occupation of Lebanon s territories.

There have been over 200 attacks by non State Palestinian actors against Israeli targets but few casualties have resulted from such attacks.

The Israeli authorities state that the restrictions are necessary because of considerations of military security or self defence, including against terrorist attacks.

Finally, the cause of this state of utter destitution is known to all parties concerned and clearly identified the continued Israeli occupation.

Indeed, Israeli settlements have amounted to de facto Israeli annexation of territory into which Palestinians seek to expand their state. As a result, without a clear agreement on borders, Area C will witness the most serious confrontations.

The establishment of a viable Palestinian State is the only means of creating the necessary conditions for harmonious coexistence between the Palestinian and Israeli peoples.

As a matter of fact, we had one State recently that could not even express the name Israel , but rather, used the term Israeli regime .

In a way, a unilateral declaration of independence would make the Israeli Palestinian conflict a bit more like the Israeli Syrian conflict an inter state conflict. It might even force Israel to make decisions that until now it found easier to avoid.

The road map, which has been praised by the international community, takes this Arab position into account and enshrines the idea that there shall be a Palestinian State and an Israeli State coexisting peacefully side by side.

TEL AVIV Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu s recent visit to Washington highlighted fundamental disagreements between Israel s current government and President Barack Obama s administration. Netanyahu persists in questioning Obama s infatuation with the two state solution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict, and he refuses to see the link that Obama believes exists between an Israeli Palestinian peace and his capacity to curtail Iran s nuclear ambitions.
