Two State Solution, Giving Away Energy Rights: Lapid Is Damaging Israel ‘In Every Possible Aspect’

Unrepentant of his earlier remarks to the UN, Interim Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid has reportedly doubled down on his call for a two-state solution to the European Union on Monday.

“Over the past year, there [has] been a positive change in our work with the Palestinian Authority. We are working with them and helping their economy develop,” he stated. “In my speech at the UN General Assembly, I expressed once more my commitment to the two-state solution.”

Last month, Lapid came under intense backlash for his speech to the United Nations in which he advocated for dividing the land of Israel via a two-state solution with the Palestinians. 

“An agreement with the Palestinians, based on two states for two peoples, is the right thing for Israel’s security, for Israel’s economy, and for the future of our children,” the Israeli caretaker Prime Minister insisted to the General Assembly. “Despite all the obstacles, still today a large majority of Israelis support the vision of this two-state solution. I am one of them.”

According to a recent poll, Lapid’s claim, that “a large majority” of Israelis are in favor of a two-state solution, is wildly inaccurate. The Times of Israel, reporting on the survey’s findings, noted that only “31% of Jewish Israelis think [the] next gov’t should push for such a peace deal with the Palestinians, with nearly 60% opposed.”

The Bible sends a stark and prophetic warning against nations and people that seek to divide the nation of Israel and, specifically, its capital Jerusalem. 

Zechariah 12:3 states: “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”

A two-state solution advocates for the dividing of Jerusalem, with the east portion of the city being given to the Palestinians for their state capital.

Additionally, Lapid’s comments on Monday, re-expressing his commitment to the division of Israel, occurred during highly controversial talks with the “European Union – Israel Association Council”, which have not convened since 2012.

Association Council meetings were supposed to be conducted on an annual basis beginning in 2009, however, former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discontinued the talks in 2012 due to the EU’s unrelenting condemnation of Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria.

“This Council has not convened in over a decade – for the wrong reasons,” Lapid asserted. “The fact that we are convening it now corrects a historic mistake.”

The current interim leader of the Jewish State has not only advocated that his own country be divided but now he has also taken a decidedly nonchalant attitude toward nations which question Israeli sovereignty.

Another disastrous initiative by Lapid surrounds an agreement with Hezbollah-run Lebanon.

Danny Danon, who formerly served as Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, strongly condemned the move.

“The Lapid-Nasrallah deal is a shameful deal that will damage the power of israel in every possible aspect,” Danon warned. “Many sections of the media are encouraging the shameful agreement but it is important that the public knows the facts.”
