I keep asking myself. If I was born a Palestinian, what would I be doing?

Joint List have nominated Gantz. Pretty huge news. Lieberman declining to nominate anyone.
Aymen Odeh determined to make his mark.

These were the Joint List’s demands. You’d have to assume Gantz has agreed to at least some of them:

Only previous occasion Arab parties nominated was 1992 with Rabin, and that was with the hope of Oslo in the air. Quite a job by Netanyahu to get them to step up again.
That's some list

Looks like a third round of elections since Lieberman will only support a unity government which Gantz and Netanyahu can’t agree on. Expect Netanyahu to be indicted before then.
Third round of elections on the way!
Lovely, third day off work for everyone in less than a year.

To choose between 2 guys with a political baw-hair separating them. Riveting!
I can't believe Likud are going to allow him lead them into another round of elections.
Still a huge difference between the two, even if not on all political views.
If this polling persists closer to the time, we may see a move against him:

Israeli “Democracy” in Two Court Cases
BYDOUGLAS GERRARD
Thinking about home, the Indian judiciary would vote for the govt in both cases (it would not let a case against the PM proceed this far). And in reference to the first line, Modi needs 2 more wins to overtake Nehru. He'll get to 15 (winning 2024) but the last 3 years might be harder.

Palestinian leaders urging all Arab leaders to boycott the new unilateral US peace plan.
It is not surprising that they are calling for this. It is their future after all. No one can call it a peace plan. And I am sure, the Israelis will not accept it as one man one vote and take over the occupied lands and keep the population. It will be apartheid or they will force the Palestinians to leave Israel.

Proposed plans for Palestine and Israel. Why were mainly Israelis present at the White House Middle East Plan announcement? Be surprised if this moves forward.
Is an enclave community an Israeli settlement?
Yes as far as I can tell. Doesn’t seem to include all of them, it’s low resolution but I don’t think Ariel, the largest disconnected settlement or ‘enclave’, is included.
Pretty much everyone except Israelis and now the US have said the settlements are illegal. Now they want to legitimize them.
The proposed Palestinian state is too broken up to be viable, imo.
It would lead to even more annexation down the line.

Worth recalling a young Netanyahu’s views on a Palestinian state:
I don’t believe his outlook has changed significantly since 1978. The Palestinian ‘state’ proposed today falls within the limitations on Palestinian ‘autonomy’ outlined by the Likud leadership around that time. In other words it falls short of constituting a viable sovereign state as generally understood and exemplified by 200+ states worldwide.

You mean the Palestinian areas I presume?
Yeah
For comparison, here’s the report of the 1937 Peel Commission, in which the partition of Palestine was first officially proposed and became embedded in the international consensus as the most suitable means by which to settle the conflict - https://content.ecf.org.il/files/M00300 - PeelCommissionFullReport.pdf

Bingo. That seems to be exactly the goal here.
This plan should be foolproof. Jared has all the qualifications to draw up a plan like this. I mean, he did something with real estate and stuff.
Hope the international community shun this stupid plan, how can you make any deal or plan with a biased broker and only with one party present.
Contiguous Palestinian state. 
It is significant though that the objective of a contiguous Palestinian state has been recognised by both Israel and the US. It might prove hard to shove that idea back in the box, it's on the table now, at last.

This will be dead on arrival. Guess Jared as to be seen as doing something.
It might be politically impossible for him right now, but it would be nice to see Sanders be the first to now acknowledge what everyone has known for quite some time - that ‘two states’ will not be happening - and openly consider the implications of this for everybody involved.
