Israel’s most prominent Arab affairs analyst, Ehud Yaari, makes his personal view of how to best manage the conflict with the Palestinians unusually clear on Channel 2’s ongoing experts panel. Talk of an agreement with the Palestinians, which has been dormant in Israel for quite some time, has been revived by the Obama visit, and the prospect of renewed talks is very much in the air.
No all-encompassing peace deal is possible at this time, and in its stead Israel should pursue an interim deal that would see Israel pull out of most of the West Bank, Yaari says.
Israel could get this move recognized by the US and the UN Security Council, he says, and it would mark the end of the occupation of the West Bank, which he calls the “monkey on our back.” A full deal would be left for a later date.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
