“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."

“[W]hat has happened on 7 October has postponed the possibility of the two-state solution."

"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.”

"Neither Iran nor Lebanese Hezbollah is at all likely to pursue such a course of action [a full-scale attack on Israel]."

"The fighting will remain contained between Israel and Iran, and will not persist for more than a few weeks."

"An all-out war between Israel and Iran is not inevitable, but it remains a serious risk."

"Israel & US manufactured a fake crisis with Iran that could lead to all-out war."

"There will be an all-out war between Israel and Iran and Iran will successfully disrupt flows through Strait of Hormuz."

"This [a wider Israeli war with Iran] is now more likely."

"[T]he Middle East is an inch away from an all-out war between Israel and Iran."

"We are not going to occupy Gaza - we are going to free Gaza from Hamas."

"Israel will not annex or occupy Gaza."

"Unless the United States changes its stance, I think ultimately, Israel will continue with this plan."

"I think Trump is going to let Netanyahu do whatever he wants."

"Israel will take control of Gaza."

"We are conquering Gaza to stay – there will be no more temporary manoeuvring. It's time to stop fearing the word occupation."

Will Israel Take Control of Gaza City?

Opposition lawmakers in Israel briefly walked out during the Knesset session to protest the exclusion of Supreme Court President Isaac Amit, but returned for Modi's speech. The protest reflected ongoing tensions between Netanyahu's government and the judiciary.
