Israel's long-term security isn't just about borders or stability—it's about the legitimacy of its state. A 2-state solution would not only grant Palestinians a state but also legitimize Israel's existence in the region. That legitimacy is critical for Israel's survival in a world where its right to exist is constantly questioned. Without a viable Palestinian state, Israel remains a target, not just for terrorism, but for delegitimization on the global stage. A 2-state solution would shift the narrative from "occupation" to "coexistence," which is a more sustainable path for peace and security.
