(Ynet News) Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Giora Eiland - Why hasn't the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict been implemented until now? Because for both sides the cost of adopting the solution is much greater than the benefit. According to the American assumption, the Palestinians want to free themselves of the "occupation" and establish a small independent state in the West Bank and Gaza. But this is not true. The Palestinians were never willing to make do with a small state of their own. They want "justice," revenge, recognition as victims and above all - the "right of return." The Palestinians do not really want a small and divided state, and therefore are not willing to pay the price for it: A commitment to declare an end to the conflict, promising not to make any other demands in the future, and recognizing Israel as a Jewish state. The writer is former head of Israel's National Security Council. 2013-03-05 00:00:00Full Article
