I understand why many in an Israeli society still traumatized by the Hamas surprise attack on Oct. 7 don’t want to hear talk of a Palestinian state, even in a demilitarized form.
But for many Israelis that was true for years before the Gaza war.
To continue ignoring the subject now would be a grave error.
Israel needs to shape it, not ignore it.
This will force Israel’s Arab allies to distance themselves from the Jewish state.
