Experts Warn: Harris’ Two-State Solution Threatens Israel’s Existence

In the aftermath of the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, which resulted in over 1,200 deaths and more than 200 kidnappings, the Biden administration has reiterated its support for a two-state solution. Vice President Kamala Harris, during a recent debate, emphasized the need for a cease-fire and a two-state solution, which has drawn criticism from experts in Israel. They argue that such a solution would jeopardize Israel's existence by transferring key territories to the Palestinians. Caroline Glick, a senior editor at the Jewish News Syndicate, highlighted that Harris's stance could diminish her support among Israelis, as polls indicate a significant preference for Donald Trump over her. Glick described Harris's comments as potentially the most hostile ever made by a major presidential candidate regarding Israel, reflecting a troubling attitude towards the nation in light of the recent violence. Experts warn that a two-state solution would not only undermine Israel's security but also grant sovereignty to a group that has expressed intentions to annihilate the Jewish state. Glick pointed out that the land in question includes areas from which attacks on Israel have been launched, raising concerns about Israel's ability to defend itself if these territories are ceded. The implications of Harris's proposed policies could lead to increased hostility towards Israel, with experts suggesting that under her leadership, the U.S. may restrict Israel's military actions against its adversaries. This situation raises critical questions about the future of U.S.-Israel relations and the viability of a two-state solution in ensuring peace and security for both parties.
