Netanyahu Reportedly Willing To Show Openness To Two State Solution With Palestine After U.S. Bombing Of Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly showed openness to discuss a two state solution with Palestine after the U.S. bombing of Iran during the weekend.

Israel Hayom detailed on Thursday that Netanyahu and President Donald Trump, along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer, discussed a framework for the Middle East following the operation. The possibility would be conditional on reforms to the Palestinian Authority.

The plan, the outlet said, involves ending the war in Gaza within two weeks. The enclave would then be ruled by four Arab countries, including Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, while remaining Hamas leadership would be exiled. Israeli hostages would be released. Gazans could depart the area if they want to, with several countries open to host them.

Other significant parts of the plan would include expanding the Abraham Accords to include Syria and Saudi Arabia, which would recognize Israel and establish relations. The U.S. would also recognize some Israeli sovereignty in the West Bank, although it's unclear if Israel would give up land of its own to compensate for the territory.

The outlet added that Trump's anger over a collapse of the ceasefire between Israel and Iran on Monday had to do with the possibility that the plan would collapse. Trump urged Israel on social media to "stop the planes" and told Netanyahu he didn't understand why he was disrupting the plan over a "small tactical incident."
