By Ari Shavit : Meretz leader to Haaretz: Two-state solution on last legs
Talkback
Title:Fatah option is State Dept fiction that doesn`t exost in reality
Name:G Marcus
City: State: Israel
For Arabs of West Bank just 2 real options exist: (a) Hamas rule (b) Jordanian rule.

Only force keeping Fatah presence alive and preventing WB from turning into another Gaza overran by Hamas is Israeli army.

Solutions:

Gaza: With or - if necessary - without Hamas, to be turned into Singapore/Dubai-like Arab state to serve as an industrial/logistics hub on Eastern Mediterranean.

- WB: In light of more complex geopolitics, parts of WB linked with Jordan; safeguarding security and settlements for Israel, demographics for Arabs, holy sites for both.

Any other track, including 2-state proposal, serves 1974 Arab plan for staged dismantling of Israel, not peace and coexistence!
