Israel needs to vacate all West Bank settlements in order for two states to exist peacefully. Anything less leaves dogmatic religous Israeli settlers in the midst of a new Palestine. The settlers have been antagonists provoking hostile clashes over land. The settlers will not relent.
Also a network ofr Israeli highways interconnecting Israeli settlements will fragment Palestine and continue a defacto checkpoint system. Equal states will only work if Israel completely withdraws from Palestine. |
