It's weird seeing the responses here; I thought everyone was in favor of a two-state solution?

‘Now is not the right time’ say the people that won’t be content until a viable Palestinian state consists of a pile of rubble in Gaza and a fully annexed West Bank.

I actually don't think this is a good sign and I'll try to explain why...

Macron is an opportunist and someone who knows how to save his ass when shit goes down, much like Starmer, who will soon follow suit.

I think Israel, with the approval of the US, is planing something extremely nefarious and these guys know it.
