Do you support a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

The two-state solution is a proposed diplomatic solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The proposal envisions an independent State of Palestine that borders Israel. Palestinian leadership has supported the concept since the 1982 Arab Summit in Fez. In 2017 the Hamas (a Palestinian Resistance movement that controls the Gaza strip) accepted the solution without recognizing Israel as a state. The current Israeli leadership has stated that a two-state solution can only exist without Hamas and the current Palestinian leadership. The U.S. would have to take a central role in any talks bet…

I support the one-state solution: creating the one state in which israelis and palestinians would live under peace and democracy

 @9KFX6QGanswered…1yr1Y

Two States but Israel has the security control and the right to have their army in Gaza and Westbank. Parts of West Bank for Israel.

 @9KNXSX3from Maryland  answered…1yr1Y

No, until the Palestinian Authority promotes democracy, peace with Israel, and rejection of terrorists

 @B463SPLfrom Washington  answered…2mos2MO

I think two Palestines is a bit excessive. Just one will do :)

 @B37ZPZK answered…3mos3MO

I acknowledge it as the international consensus but do not support it.

 @B34FFXCfrom Maine  answered…3mos3MO

Only a one state solution as long as there is an organization actually fit to run one democratic state. There isn't one yet; the good-intentioned organizations are too small, and the only big ones, rather regardless of both sides, are, well...

 @B2D9GKGanswered…4mos4MO

Yes. But I don't think it is possible. Not without the complete destruction of Hamas first.

 @9R9KL2Panswered…10mos10MO

Yes, a two-state solution and a permanent ceasefire

Hegseth Out, DeSantis In? Trump Rethinks Defense Pick

President-elect Donald Trump is considering Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as a possible replacement for Pete Hegseth, his pick to run the Pentagon, according to people familiar with the discussions, amid Republican senators’ concerns over mounting allegations about the former Fox News host’s personal life.Picking DeSantis, a 2024 GOP primary rival for the presidency, would amount to a stunning turn for Trump. But he would also find in the governor a well-known conservative with a service record who shares Trump’s—and Hegseth’s—view on culling what they see as “woke” policies in the military.Trump allies increasingly think Hegseth might not survive further scrutiny, according to people close to the president-elect’s team, which considers the next 48 hours to be crucial to his fate.DeSantis, who served as a Navy lawyer in Iraq and the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, was on an earlier list of potential defense-secretary candidates that transition officials presented to the president. Trump ultimately went with Hegseth. But as Hegseth’s nomination has faltered, that list has been revived and DeSantis is again among the choices Trump is considering, the people said.The discussions are in their early stages, one of the people said, adding that Trump has floated DeSantis’s name in casual conversations with guests at Mar-a-Lago, his private Florida club.Trump could decide not to choose DeSantis and select another replacement, if Hegseth’s nomination falls apart, the people said. Another potential defense-secretary candidate who has been discussed by Trump allies, according to people familiar with the matter, is Elbridge Colby, a former Pentagon official and ally of Vice President-elect JD Vance. Trump is also considering Sen. Joni Ernst (R., Iowa) for the job, some of the people said.DeSantis was once seen as an acolyte of Trump but his decision to challenge the former president in the 2024 GOP primary began a conflict between them, with Trump casting DeSantis as disloyal. Trump easily prevailed in the primary and friends of the two have worked to repair the relationship.
