“I will not allow it [a two-state solution]."

Netanyahu's government "doesn't want anything remotely approaching a two-state solution.

"The only thing that Iran and Israel have in common is that neither of them believes in a two-state solution."

"[T]he current conflict is likely to put the last nail in the coffin of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process."

"A two-state solution exists only in theory. In practice, it died long ago."

"The war between Israel and Hamas makes the two-state solution less viable than ever before."

"The two-state solution remains on the table, if only for the lack of any viable alternative."

"If Israel has the will, or capacity, to relocate 200,000 settlers from the West Bank and Jerusalem, a two-state solution is a viable option."

"If international actors can muster enough political will and capital... they could still bring about [a two-state solution]."

“[The two-state solution] is the only solution – there is no realistic competition.”

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir led Jewish prayers at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem on Sunday, marking the first time an Israeli government minister has openly prayed at the site.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir led Jewish prayers at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem on Sunday, marking the first time an Israeli government minister has openly prayed at the site.

The Al-Aqsa compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, operates under a status quo deal established in 1967 that allows Jews to visit but prohibits them from praying there, with Jordan serving as custodian of the site.

A record 3,527 Jewish visitors ascended to the Temple Mount on Sunday — marking Tisha B'Av, the fast day mourning the destruction of two Jewish temples at the site centuries ago — a 32% rise from the previous record.

This provocative violation of the status quo threatens regional stability and undermines peace efforts by international mediators. Ben-Gvir's actions constitute a flagrant breach of international law and disregard Muslim sentiments worldwide, potentially escalating tensions across the Middle East during ongoing humanitarian crises.

Ben-Gvir's prayer at Al-Aqsa shatters decades of sacred understanding, trampling Muslim hearts while hostages languish in tunnels. This convicted extremist transforms Judaism's holiest mourning day into a calculated provocation, inflaming a region already bleeding. As Gaza starves and Jerusalem burns, his reckless ambition prioritizes political theater over human lives, pushing peace further into darkness.

The so-called "status quo" is a hollow myth — Palestinians built four additional mosques while systematically erasing Jewish history. For fifty-seven years, Jews have been denied their fundamental right to pray at Judaism's holiest site. Ben-Gvir simply acknowledged reality: religious freedom belongs to everyone, including Jews mourning their destroyed Temples on their most sacred ground.
