Harris speaks with forked tongue on two-state solution

By David Singer - posted Thursday, 5 September 2024


Harris re-embracing a two-state solution on 29 August – whether Biden's Solution or any other two-state solution - is strange to fathom – especially since Israel had already begun an operation in the West Bank on 27 August that could only harden Israel's resolve to reject any two-state solution:

IDF: Since Tuesday night, the IDF, ISA, and Israel Border Police forces have been conducting a precise, targeted regional operation across three terror hubs. The forces are operating against terrorist cells of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations in the area, as well as ongoing attempts by the enemy to carry out attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers.

So far, the forces have eliminated 20 terrorists in exchanges of fire and airstrikes and apprehended 17 suspects linked to terrorist activities. Additionally, they have destroyed dozens of explosive devices and confiscated large quantities of weapons.

Simultaneously, alongside the operation in northern Samaria, the IDF and ISA have completed an operation in the area of Far'a in the Jordan Valley Brigade."

Contrast Harris's stance with that of her rival for President - Donald Trump - on 29 April:

There was a time when I thought two states could work. Now I think two states is going to be very, very tough. I think it's going to be much tougher to get. I also think you have fewer people that liked the idea. You had a lot of people that liked the idea four years ago. Today, you have far fewer people that like that idea"

What would Trump say now - 4 months later – given developments since then?

Will Harris continue pursuing any two-state solution – unequivocally rejected by Israel: "Yes" or "No"?

Speaking with forked tongue on so important an issue is not acceptable.
