The argument assumes that the status quo is the only viable security framework, but historical examples show that even with past conflicts, states have found ways to coexist through negotiated settlements. The data suggests a growing disconnect between the political elite and the broader Israeli public on this issue, which undermines the claim that the status quo is universally seen as secure.
The idea that a two-state solution would reduce existential threats ignores the reality that Israel's security concerns are deeply tied to the status quo. Many Israeli leaders and citizens view a Palestinian state as a long-term risk, not a solution, due to historical grievances and ongoing violence. https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/01/1145807
