At Herzliya, Ehud Barak accuses the Netanyahu government of plotting to retain permanent control over the Palestinian population, and that this “will bring necessarily, necessarily to a single state, either apartheid, a state that will be outcast from the whole world, or a binational state with a Jewish minority in permanent civil war between its two parts. These possibilities both signal an end to Zionist project. There’s no other possibility. We’re at the cusp of this slippery slope.”

He warns: “Life intertwined with Palestinians will lead to generations of bloodshed. It’s happened before, with Muslims and Christians in Lebanon, in Bosnia, between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland.”
