Two-State Solution Dead?

Sean Hannity interviewed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday, February 16th. Netanyahu stated forcefully that there are two big threats in the Middle East, not just one. He named radical Sunnis, led by ISIS, and radical Shias, led by Iran. He said that radical Shias led by Iran are by far the most dangerous of the two. He pointed out that Iran has the ability to make nuclear weapons and already has the ICBMs to deliver them.

This escalating fear of Iran is driving a new coalition together in the Middle East made up of Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Jordan, and Egypt. It also appears that this new regional bloc may end up being the key to a peace agreement with the Palestinians.

One more thing: Is the two-state solution now dead as many in Israel are claiming? Not on your life! There’s going to be a two-state solution. The only question is when?
