Israeli leaders have been privately urging the Biden administration to refrain from publicly talking about the two-state solution in the fallout of Hamas’s October 7 terror onslaught, four Israeli and US officials told The Times of Israel this week.
The message is not just being voiced by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose resonance is more limited since Washington is convinced he has been engaged in a “politically motivated campaign” on the matter, a US official said. Other war cabinet members including Benny Gantz, President Isaac Herzog and even Opposition chairman Yair Lapid have also conveyed their discomfort with the Biden administration’s revived rhetoric regarding the need for a two-state solution since the war’s outbreak, according to two Israeli officials.
“A two-state solution after what happened on October 7 is a reward to Hamas,” said one of the Israeli officials, referencing the terror group’s shock attack, in which 1,2000 were massacred and some 240 were taken hostage in Gaza.

In some cases the President has to pretend he's a mob boss. Dealing with people like Netanyahu is one of those cases.

But certainly not with Iran, our true friend. With them we shower them with money and get attacks in return.
Smart policy.
@TreatyJackalRepublican5mos5MO
But they're right.
The October 7th attack can't have positive results for the Palestinians, it incentives terror attacks, and thus death and destruction on both sides.

There'd be a far more unified and powerful pro-peace message if it was "remove Hamas and then you're either going to negotiate a 2SS or we're recognizing Palestine and imposing one." The 2008 Olmert agreement is so close to what any ultimate 2SS would be.

This headline from today reminds me of what Bill Clinton said after his first meeting with Netanyahu: "Who the f*** does he think he is? Who's the f****** superpower here?
