Here are statements about declaring, about recognizing a Palestinian state,

perhaps based on a mistake, because look, this leads the Government of Israel to establish facts on the ground,

whose intention is to prevent precisely that.

Look, the fact that Smotrich clearly states that this is about the intention to prevent a Palestinian state,

and here the director general of the Yesha Council sits and talks about the severing of hope,

they are wrong.

It does not harm only Palestinians; it is going to harm Israelis,

it is going to harm our future, our ability to live in security,

it is going to harm Israelis' hope for normalcy,

and it is also something that runs deeply against the will of the people.

Most of the people want to live in security, which will be achieved only through peace.

Israeli-Palestinian peace is not a danger.

A diplomatic solution, as Netanyahu said yesterday, is not a problem.

This is what we should be aiming for.

And if we turn the question back to those settlement leaders, to Smotrich, to Netanyahu, and ask them, “So what is your solution?”

they basically would not be able to tell us what solution they are talking about,

Other than keeping millions of people under military control, they are not Israeli citizens, but they are ruled by Israel,

people without rights, without citizenship, without a passport, not part of any country in the world,

This is not only violent; it also breeds violence that harms us,

And it is in the interest not only of Palestinians but also of Israelis to solve the problem by establishing a Palestinian state alongside the State of Israel.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is lost in messianic delusions and prefers the land over life,

He prefers soldiers dying while defending all kinds of terror hotbeds in the West Bank that go out and kill Palestinians live on air,

This is not something we can accept; it is dangerous not only to Palestinians, I emphasize again,

it is dangerous to every Israeli citizen who needs to know that there are people walking among us,

armed people who are granted a license to kill, who live with privileges while their neighbors.

Your neighbor says he doesn't even have your rights; you live with the right to vote, with a passport, with citizenship in a state,

100 meters from you there is a village called Yasuf; they have no rights, none of the rights you have,

And this is not only apartheid;\nit's something that is inherently bad for every Israeli citizen.

Let's hear from Omer. Omer, really, what do you envision for all those three million Palestinians\nwho live in the West Bank, in Judea and Samaria?

Well, first of all I'm glad about what Alon said,\nbecause it exposes the truth.

He is simply in a stark minority in Israeli society.

The fact that you say you're the majority, Alon,\nsorry, that's not true.

Just six months ago the Knesset passed a dramatic resolution\nin which it decided to oppose a Palestinian state,

Not only the Hebrew parties.

No, no, fine, but Alon, I asked a question, so answer me.

What are you proposing, not a Palestinian state, fine, we got it.

What will happen with those three million Palestinians\nwho live in Judea and Samaria?

Herad, since some very harsh statements were made here against more than half a million residents of Judea and Samaria,

claiming they have a license to kill, God forbid, or something like that,

I would like, unequivocally, to stand firmly against those statements, unfortunately.

That is outrageous, and to answer Alon's question, that's slander.

More than half a million residents of Judea and Samaria pay taxes,

they, unfortunately, pay a large share, far more than their relative share in the population,

in this war, while Alon calls for refusal to serve.

And therefore, with all due respect,

refusing the conquest of Gaza in order to save the hostages is something very, very worthwhile to do,

I recommend that every reservist not obey an order over which a black flag is flying.
