Israel's long-term security isn't just about military deterrence or territorial control—it's about the ability to govern and thrive in a region where its legitimacy is constantly questioned. A 2-state solution would allow Israel to focus on domestic issues, economic development, and regional cooperation without being trapped in a perpetual security dilemma. When you look at countries that have successfully negotiated peace—like South Africa with its Truth and Reconciliation Commission—there's a pattern: acknowledging past wrongs and moving forward creates space for stability. Israel can't build a sustainable future if it's always reacting to conflict. A two-state framework offers that chance.
