In addition to what may have been Hotovely’s intended or otherwise nudge, a recent article in the Israeli paper Yediot Achronot, claimed Netanyahu had been prepared to hand over parts of Judea and Samaria in Aug. 2013. This may also have helped push Netanyahu to finally state publicly that Islamic extremists in the region – not merely the moderate terrorists of the PA – have put an end to any Palestinian State for so long as ISIS and its ilk pose a danger to the region.
And, for an added splash of irony, it is probably U.S. President Barack Obama himself who is largely responsible for creating the scenario which makes impossible the creation of a Palestinian State at any time in the near future. His disastrous choices of whom to back and whom to ignore during the nascent Arab Spring has led to a dramatic weakening of even those Arab states which were formerly strong, albeit far from liberty-loving democracies.
The fall and or dramatic weakening of many Arab states in the region created the perfect crucible out of which ISIS and other Islamic terrorist extremists were forged.
