The two -state solution in the Middle East is a "failed idea" and has ended - an opinion article on the telegraph

قبل ساعة واحدة

We start our tour of the British newspaper Telegraph, and an opinion article entitled "A failed idea: the two -state solution for Israel and Palestine has ended", written by the former Indian diplomat CR Grag two.

The writer asks if someone could imagine "Jews and Palestinians" who live in peace on a very small plot of land, after what happened during the past two years?, And it must: "The two -state solution has ended."

The writer returns to the Balfour Declaration in 1917, which "promised the Jews a homeland in Palestine, with social and cultural rights comparable to its indigenous residents, and deliberately denied the political rights of the population. Even Jews refused to recognize the existence of another people who live there. And their slogan was a land without a people, for a people without land."

The writer believes that the year 1947 was the "heavy tragedy" when the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 181, which divided the lands into two entities, an Arab and Jew, instead of keeping it united in one country, as "the conflict currently revolves around the land", while "the Jews possess a state on the entire land, whether legally or illegally, the Palestinians have only a small tape in part of the West Bank."

The writer says that "all countries have set their lands, but Israel has kept its borders not intentionally, leaving the door open to add more lands."

The most finished reading

The writer says that "the traditional slogan or formula is that there are two states, Israel and Palestine, who live side by side in peace, harmony and good neighborhood," but it excludes this in light of what happened during the past two years.

The writer adds that the matter now "is not limited to the Jews' refusal of any idea about the establishment of a Palestinian state, especially after October 7 of 2023, but it is also unlikely that the Arabs, whether they are from Hamas or not, will also want the Jews to be neighbors in light of sabotage and chaos, which settlers commit daily during the past two years in the occupied West Bank, with full support from the Israeli government."

The writer refers to the ongoing Israeli war in the Gaza Strip, where "Civil Gaza residents are emerging, killing thousands, and many, including women and children, are wounded," and he says about this that "the declared goal of some members of the Benjamin Netanyahu government is to purify the sector of all its residents, and send them to other countries."

The writer explains: "Some Gaza population may hate Hamas, but how are they expected to love the Israelis? Hate between the two societies is not erased."

The former Indian diplomat concludes his article that governments around the world realize that the two -state solution has ended, but nevertheless "will continue to repeat the slogan of the two states", because none of them "has the courage to publicly recognize that the idea is no longer implemented", he asks: "If there is no state, then what will be? There is no satisfactory answer to that."

"Do not court to Trump"

We turn to the Guardian newspaper, and an article entitled "Leaders learn, one after the other, that the courtship to Trump leads to a disaster. When will Starmer realize that?", Written by Simon Tzdal.

The writer believes that the "tender" of US President Donald Trump is not beneficial in the long run.

He refers to the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as the latest international leader to learn this lesson with difficulty, as he was a friend of Trump and their friendship reached its climax in 2019, but everything turned upside down, due to Trump's customs duties and his approach to Pakistan, "which made Moody throw himself without shame in the arms of Vladimir Putin in China last week," according to the author.

The writer cited examples of leaders who tried to kidnap the friend of the American president and returned to be worn out, including French President Emmanuel Macron and Orrsola von der Line, head of the European Commission that "was eager for direct meeting, she traveled to Trump's Golf Stadium in Scotland to win his friendliness", and the result - according to the writer - was "a more humiliating and biased commercial deal."

The writer believes that all of this should ignite the warning lights of the British Prime Minister, Kiir Starmer, before Trump's visit to Britain within 10 days.

He wrote: "It seems that Starmer believes that his dealings with the relationship with the United States are the most prominent in his first year in his post. However, Trump ignores his calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, and opposes Britain's recognition of a Palestinian state."

The writer notes that there are leaders who do not give up on Trump, and "the evidence is that resistance - not humiliation - is the best way to deal with this bully," as he described, calling on the British Prime Minister to "wake up and give up Trump."

What will happen later in the war between Russia and Ukraine?

Finally, we conclude our tour from the Washington Post, and an opening article entitled "What does Russia and Ukraine expect to happen later in the war?", By writer David Ignatius.

The writer believes that "President Donald Trump's initiative for peace in Ukraine - with its empty threats and its vague final deadlines - is almost collapsing," and that what remains is the battlefield, where Kiev and Moscow continue to fight a bloody war.

Then he tries to anticipate what this war might lead to, based on answers from the major military strategies from both sides.

The simple summary is that we are likely to witness more death and destruction without achieving a decisive penetration from either side, according to the writer.

To coexist with this reality, Ukraine calmly adopts a new doctrine that the writer transmits from André Zagorodionic, former Minister of Defense in the country, who described it as "strategic neutralization."

The idea, as explained by the former Ukrainian military commander, is the paralysis of the Russian forces movement by land and air, just as Ukraine did in the Black Sea. In this case, Russia may continue to fight, but if this model continues, it will not win.

As for Russia's vision of the war, the writer transmits it from General Valerie Gerasimov, the head of the Russian Staff, from his speech during a meeting with his senior leaders on August 30 to "summarize the results of hostilities for the spring and summer period, and clarify future tasks."

"Today, the strategic initiative is in the hands of the entire Russian forces," Gerasimov told his leaders. He congratulated them on the establishment of buffer areas in Kharkif and Sumi in the northeast, and the progress of the west in Dnibro and Peterrovsk. He urged them to continue "offensive operations" in all regions.

However, the writer believes that, even according to Gerasimov, this Russian attack did not make a slight progress, as the Russians did not succeed in controlling even the four Ukrainian regions, which Moscow demanded in 2022, when the war began.

The writer concludes his article by noting that former Ukrainian Defense Minister André Zagorodionic acknowledges that "Ukraine may not win this war, but Russia will not win either. For defenders, this is a kind of victory."
