Plenty would need to change before a two-state solution begins to look feasible, including in Israel’s government.
Last week, Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken headed for the Middle East to try to keep Israel’s war in Gaza from spinning out of control, and to begin talks on what diplomats call “the day after” — what happens after the shooting stops.“When this crisis is over, there has to be a vision of what comes next,” President Biden said last month.
I spent last week talking with U.S. diplomats who have worked on past Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, and they all had similar advice: Lower your expectations. “Those goals are desirable, but it isn’t clear yet how feasible they are,” warned David Makovsky of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, who worked on Israeli-Palestinian talks during the Obama administration. “I wouldn’t predict that this is a slam-dunk.”
If there’s an interim, discussion in Washington and Israel has focused on persuading a consortium of Arab countries to form a peacekeeping force for Gaza, but it isn’t clear that anyone wants the assignment. “We have to combat with a better idea … that gives people something to hope for, to buy into, to grab onto,” he said last week.
