Benjamin Netanyahu's policies intensify Israel-Palestine conflict
An essay by Assaf Sharon, a philosophy professor at Tel Aviv University, argues that Benjamin Netanyahu has consistently opposed the creation of a Palestinian state, shaping Israeli policy for decades. The analysis traces his early opposition to the Oslo peace process, his 2015 declaration “No Palestinian state on my watch,” and the expansion of settlements deep into occupied Palestinian territory. It also details financial measures that have aimed to cripple the Palestinian Authority, and claims that the 2022 Israeli government includes radical elements calling for the resettlement of Gaza and Syria and for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. According to the essay, the ongoing war in Gaza is pursued to prevent moderate Palestinian governance, especially the Palestinian Authority, from establishing a foothold, contributing to broader regional instability.
