Two State Solution Pressure Now From Fareed's CNN

The 2-state solution of Judea/Samaria (West Bank) and Gaza becoming Palestine-run by Hamas?  Who?  Abbas's Palestinian Authority?  This is a forever struggle of power between the two.  By the way, Israel's land constitutes a thin strip of land where their cities lie.  

This morning we were greeted on CNN by Fareed Zakaria's push and pressure to have a two state solution, organized by Trump and Saudi Arabia's Prince attacking the Israeli government into ceding to it.  Then Fareed went into his time with Ukraine and Russia.  Were they a follow-up example of a great two state solution?  Ha!  

 CNN is not the largest news station compared to ABC, CBS, and NBC. While CNN is a major player in cable news, it is typically outpaced by the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) in overall viewership, particularly in total day and primetime. Fox News also consistently surpasses CNN in viewership among cable news channels, according to TheWrap. For example, in one recent week, Fox News averaged 2.7 million primetime viewers, while NBC had 2.4 million, CBS had 2.4 million, and ABC had 2.3 million, according to Yahoo News. In the same period, CNN had its lowest-rated week of the year, according to Yahoo News. 

Nevertheless, CNN is attracted to a high amount of people who watch it faithfully and are swayed by their comments and commentators. Perhaps they only had 2.0 followers. Most likelythey have no idea of the past history of the 2-state solution.

From 2017 to 2021, the bias of CNN's web news shifted significantly, from Center, to Lean Left, to Left. CNN, its employees, and its content are commonly associated with liberal media bias by voices across the political spectrum in the public discourse.

No way, the Palestinians have had a chance to accept a peacetreaty and have sworn never to do this, and they haven't changed; if anything, becoming more avid since Oct 7th 2023. 

Palestinian opposition to Zionist land purchases and the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine began in the 1920s, fueled by concerns about displacement and loss of self-determination. Arab leaders and activists voiced their opposition to the Balfour Declaration and the British Mandate, which they saw as undermining their rights and national aspirations. This opposition manifested in various forms, including protests, riots, and ultimately, armed conflict

                          King Faisel of Syria and Iraq,  was all for an Israel and

 hoped the Jews could teach his people a thing or two,but he soon was forced to see how they felt about an Israel.  

 In the 1920s, Faisal I served as the King of both Syria (briefly) and Iraq. He was proclaimed King of Syria in 1920, but his reign was short-lived as the French ousted him. He then became King of Iraq in 1921, a position he held until his death in 1933.

Following the Six-Day War in June 1967, the Arab League held a summit in Khartoum, Sudan, from August 29 to September 1, 1967. This meeting is known as the Khartoum Resolution or the Three No's of Khartoum. 

The final communique of the meeting "underscored the Palestinians' right to regain the whole of Palestine—that is, to destroy the State of Israel." The outcome of this summit influenced Israeli foreign policy for decades.

What makes me sad is how Faisal changed sides utterly !  That's a bad example in trust for Israel.  

Eight Arab heads of state attended the Khartoum Conference in 1967. The summit, which took place from August 29 to September 1, was convened in the wake of the Six-Day War. The conference resulted in the Khartoum Resolution, which outlined the Arab world's response to the conflict. 

The resolution articulated the Arab world's official stance towards Israel at that time, and the "three no's" famously declared:

• No peace with Israel
• No recognition of Israel
• No negotiations with Israel 

The Khartoum Resolution represented a hardening of the Arab position towards Israel after the Six-Day War and significantly influenced Israeli foreign policy for decades. It was a clear rejection of any immediate peace settlement with Israel. This stance was maintained by most Arab states for over a decade, until Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1979, 12 years after the Khartoum Conference.  . 

The West can hope for a resolution to the 2-state solution tillKingdom Comes, and it won't do any good.  It hasn't changedthose attending this meeting to change and take back theirsworn statement of No No No.  October 7, 2023 just shows how adament they still are.  Only those involved with theAbraham Accords have seen the light and have changed;  andmaybe they weren't involved then.  I only hold out the changewith the city of Hebron and its younger Sheik who sees life canbe better not under the PA, but Israel

There have been several proposals and negotiations since 1967 where the possibility of Palestinian land for a two-state solution was discussed. 

Here's a timeline of some key instances:

• 1993 Oslo Accords: This agreement aimed to create a framework for future negotiations towards Palestinian statehood and established the Palestinian Authority. However, it did not finalize borders.
• 2000 Camp David Summit: A plan for a Palestinian state in most of the Judea/Sameria (West Bank) and Gaza Strip with East Jerusalem as its capital was proposed but not accepted.
• 2001 Taba Summit: Negotiations based on the Clinton parameters took place, and the Israeli negotiation team presented a map which the Palestinian side accepted as a basis for further negotiation. However, talks ended without a final agreement.
• 2007 Annapolis Conference: This conference aimed to reach a peace agreement leading to a Palestinian state. An "unprecedented offer" based on the pre-1967 borders, including land swaps and a divided Jerusalem, was reportedly offered, but talks did not yield a final agreement.
• No, they wanted all;  all of Israel including Jerusalem, probably;  that's the problem.  
• 2010 negotiations: The principle of land swap was discussed, though the ratio remained a point of disagreement. The Palestinian Authority requested that Israel cease settlement building and accept the 1967 borders as the basis for a two-state solution. Israel acknowledged the right of Palestinians to their own state, with the condition it be demilitarized.
• 2020 "Peace to Prosperity" Plan: This US plan presented a vision for a two-state solution but included provisions for Israeli sovereignty over some Judea/Samaria (West Bank) settlements and land swaps. It was largely rejected by the Palestinians and drew criticism. 

March 5, 2025:  Trump's Gaza Plan:  U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed that the United States "take over" and "own" the Gaza Strip, suggesting long-term control after the ongoing conflict. His statement came during a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on February 4, where Trump emphasized the need for a new approach to Gaza's future. 

Since his announcement, Trump and his administration have sent mixed signals about the plan. On February 5, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt assured reporters that Palestinian displacement would be “temporary” and that no U.S. troops or tax dollars would be involved in Gaza. However, in a February 10 Fox News interview, Trump appeared to contradict this, stating that Palestinians would not return to Gaza because “they’re going to have much better housing... a permanent place for them.”  (Maybe Greenland?)

Despite these instances, the exact details of land distribution and a final settlement have remained points of contention, preventing the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders. 

Sorry, but October 7, 2023has really turned everyone with intelligence against the ideaof placing people mad; with hatred against Jews (thus Israelis)next door to Arabs is after killing over a thousand and kidnapp-ing a few hundred others to torture and victimize as hostagesgood only for saving their own skin.  

Now the WEST thinks they can plan and control land that has been in Jewish hands for the past 4,000 years and reallymeans nothing to them except land involved with theirChristian religion?  Or is it future land deals?  

They want to wipe Israel off the map?  It may be small, too smallfor them to matter, but Israel is the bastion of the greatnessof a Democracy, the freedom of using one's creativity.  Israelcontinues to show how the USA should be copied by others. That's the fear for China and Russia;  people will figure outways of living not connected to them, and then they lose their hold.
