[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=4) When the goal is shared, meaning between brothers who want a large, strong, thriving Jewish and democratic state here and disagree about the way to get there, which is legitimate.

[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=12) Someone might think that establishing what I call a terror state is okay, for Israel’s benefit. No, two states. There was a faction in the Knesset I think that today there are almost no such people among the people of Israel,

[0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=25) but there were times when there was a faction in the Knesset that thought two states were a good solution.

[0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=29) To establish a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria.

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=31) He did it because he thought that it was what was good for the State of Israel.

[0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=35) I think it’s dangerous for the State of Israel, but we both want what’s best for the State of Israel.

[0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=39) That’s a strong common ground. We can debate the right balance between the Knesset, the government, and the judicial system.

[0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=45) We can debate the powers of the attorney general whether there’s a veto or not.

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=48) Only if she is disqualified. But this happens between people whose goal is shared.

[0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=53) They, they’re happy on Independence Day.

[0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=57) They want the State of Israel to be happy.

[0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=58) They understand that what we're doing here is reassembling, again and again, after two thousand years of exile, displacement, and migrations back.

[1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=65) Returning to our homeland after being forcibly expelled from it.

[1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=67) They understand this narrative, and we can debate what's right here.

[1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=72) Sadly, the two Arab parties, both the Joint List and Ra'am, its members, want other things.

[1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=78) As far as they're concerned, Independence Day is feminine. It's a disaster.

[1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=82) Gadi Yoram That's what's at stake now. Now, it's true, the people of Israel didn't let either you or us lead them alone.

[1:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=87) What can you do? I admit, I very much wanted us to get a majority and be able to lead according to our way.

[1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=92) You wanted the same thing. The people of Israel gave neither us nor you a majority.

[1:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=96) Now we can go to another election or look for a way to form a unity government with lots of concessions and mutual consideration from both of us, without boycotts or exclusions.

[1:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=106) And this rush to go and form a government again— you're not going to see that.

[1:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=111) It's heartbreaking. What a shame for the Arab public.

[1:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=112) Again and again and again, he votes for these parties.

[1:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=115) He just had an opportunity, for example, to vote for Right. Yusef Haddad, a Zionist Arab.

[2:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=122) Unfortunately, you can count on a few hands the number of votes he got in Arab society.

[2:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=126) And Arab society voted for parties that, well, deny the existence of the State of Israel as a Jewish state.

[2:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=132) They want something else. Just read this.

[2:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=134) Yoram, do you speak Arabic? Before the previous, previous elections, I invested when the idea of forming a government with Ra'am came up.

[2:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=139) Back then, there wasn't this GPS where you could scroll through a document and get it in Hebrew.

[2:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=143) I invested 30,000 shekels in translating materials from Arabic into Hebrew to learn about the Islamic Movement.

[2:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=148) Its roots go back to 1918, when it was founded between the Islamic and Israeli sides.

[2:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=152) The same method of disruption, the same concealment.

[2:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=153) To understand what happened later, in the seventies and eighties.

[2:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=156) How did Hamas come into being in Gaza? We built it. The State of Israel identified a moderate force here against the PLO, which was the extremist force.

[2:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=163) Now that's right, because they did acts of love, They worked in education, health, welfare, and society, They built the power on which they built the military wing.

[2:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=172) That's the method. That's been the method all these years.

[2:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/yGy8CLDsBIuc/en/israeli-unity-the-two-state-solution-and-arab-parties?t=174) Knesset Member Abbas. Mansour won't help you shout.
