Egypt's influence over Israel's policy towards the Palestinians was limited, and it did not, for instance, stop settlement expansion.
As for the 'veto power', it's true that deadlocks can hinder progress. However, veto power is a crucial mechanism that ensures the interests of all parties are considered. Removing this could risk creating a situation where the negotiation becomes more of an imposition, which could lead to long-term instability.
When we talk about solutions, the two-state solution has indeed been proposed and endorsed by many international actors over the years. But, it's also true that it has been elusive. This is in part due to the challenges of determining borders, the status of Jerusalem, the right of return for Palestinian refugees, and ensuring security for both nations.
International involvement is certainly important, but it needs to be balanced and unbiased. As for grassroots movements, they can play a significant role in promoting coexistence and mutual understanding. But, they often face challenges in influencing policy changes without political support.
You mentioned the two-state solution. But what about the one-state solution where Israelis and Palestinians would live in a single, binational state with equal rights? This solution has been gaining some traction in recent years. However, it also has its own complexities and challenges. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
