The White House under President Biden is making a misguided attempt to revive the outdated idea of a two-state solution in Israel, offering Saudi Arabia incentives like a closer defense relationship with the U.S. to push for recognition of Israel. This move seems like a desperate effort to score diplomatic points in an election year, rather than addressing the real issues in the region.
An Intellectually Bankrupt White House Resurrects the 'Two-State Solution' From the Trash Binhttps://t.co/sfkcO7lof2

The two-state solution has long been proven as a flawed concept, giving the Palestinians veto power over any potential solution. President Trump rightly recognized this flaw and focused on creating new alliances in the Middle East, like the Abraham Accords, which excluded the Palestinians and prioritized regional stability and security.
The recent attacks on Israeli civilians have further demonstrated the impracticality of establishing a Palestinian state. Israeli leaders and the majority of its citizens oppose the creation of a separate Palestinian state within its borders. This makes the White House’s push for a two-state solution even more out of touch with the current reality on the ground.
By resurrecting this failed idea, President Biden risks undermining the progress made by the Trump administration in the Middle East and jeopardizing the security and stability of the region. This move appears to be more about scoring political points domestically rather than promoting genuine peace and security in the Middle East.
It is crucial for the U.S. to focus on realistic and effective solutions in the Middle East that prioritize stability, security, and the interests of our allies like Israel. Resurrecting failed diplomatic approaches for political gain is irresponsible and could have detrimental consequences for the region as a whole.
