    Merkel’s office said stressed in a phone conversation Monday the continued relevance of a two-state solution, which she said should be the goal of international efforts.

    Merkel also expressed her willingness to work closely and trustingly with the incoming Israeli government.

    During the final stretch of his election campaign, Netanyahu pledged for the first time to annex parts of the occupied West Bank in a desperate bid to rally his right-wing base. Netanyahu has reneged on election eve promises before, but should he follow through on this one, it would mark a dramatic development and potentially wipe out the already diminishing hope for Palestinian statehood.

    Israel, USA always knew that to solve the Israeli conflict we must adhere to the 2 state solution- 1) My State of mind and 2) your state of mind.

    The stupid 2 State, you had it with the Berlin wall, it came down.
    Send all f the terrorists to the UE and they could even Brexit.

    its the same Germany –
    70 years ago they openly used concentration camps and gas chambers – now they are using sinister and third-party advocates to carry out the same plan. They couldn’t care about the Palestinians, – where is there concern for Syria, Sudan, Ungurs in China – ??

    Nobody wants a solution. An endless low-intensity war suits all the leaders on both sides.

    There is a solution but sending the Arabs to Jordan or Syria isn’t something people will take about

    Israel should negotiate with the Arabs.
    1-Israel keeps ALL the territories it won through 3 defensive wars.
    2- the Arabs can have peace

    Germany already had a 2-state solution for about 50 years.
    Ask her how that worked out.
