How many times are they going to try floating this loser?Palestinian official told Zman Yisrael, The Times of Israel’s Hebrew sister site, that Foreign Minister Yair Lapid’s “new vision” for the Gaza Strip is “the new Oslo [Accords].”
The proposal raised earlier this week by the foreign minister was swiftly rejected by PA Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh, as well as Gaza rulers Hamas, but some within the Palestinian Authority are quietly in favor.
“This is the new Oslo,” said the unnamed official, referring to the 1993 peace agreements. “The program Lapid announced could save Gaza. This is the first time in 11 years that someone in Israel is suggesting a solution to the problem of Gaza in the framework of a two-state solution.”
Lapid proposed a multi-stage plan for developing Gaza’s economy. The first stage would entail rehabilitating Gaza’s infrastructure in exchange for tight international oversight — as well as quiet from Hamas. In the second stage of Lapid’s plan, the two sides would see more ambitious projects. An artificial island would be built off the coast of the enclave — a long-proposed plan to see a port built in Gaza — and the West Bank and Gaza would be linked by infrastructure projects, Lapid said.
The Palestinian Authority would take over civil and economic affairs in the Gaza Strip as part of this step, Lapid said. He did not explain how or why Hamas would consent to allow its PA rivals to take charge of aspects of life inside Gaza. Israel and the international community’s insistence on this step — along with Hamas’s refusal to do so — has torpedoed similar efforts before.

The amendment obligates UNRWA to utilize textbooks that “promote coexistence and tolerance with the Jewish-Israeli ‘other’ and peace education with Israel in alignment with the goals of the two-state solution.”
If such changes aren’t made by the start of the 2022 Palestinian school year, the appropriations in reserve will be used to fund Palestinian NGOs “with a proven track record of promoting coexistence with Israel,” the amendment stated.

Don't these clowns know that the two state solution has been dead for decades?and peace education with Israel in alignment with the goals of the two-state solution.”
Wait, what? You have insisted that the 'state of Pal'istan' was invented by the Treaty of Lausanne in 1924. Why is there a need for a two state solution if the 'state of Pal'istan' already exists?Don't these clowns know that the two state solution has been dead for decades?
No surprise that there is no peace.
