How many thousands more must die before everyone agrees that a two-state solution is the only way ahead in the Israel-Palestine conflict? The only war the region can now afford is one against depravity and sub-human living conditions. It's now up to Israel to set a vision for the region and grant Palestine statehood.
Recognizing a Palestinian state before there's anything even remotely resembling a state apparatus is unlikely to solve the crisis, and would only brush the real reasons for the conflict under the carpet. Furthermore, such a plan would be a non-starter without a fair idea of the state's official borders. Without such basics being thought through, calling for a "state" is, at best, virtue signaling.
