Let us all rise and give a slow, sarcastic standing ovation to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — the man who, in trying to erase even the possibility of a Palestinian state, might just be the godfather of its rebirth.
Yes, you read that right. According to a biting analysis by Jonathan Lis in Haaretz, the same leader who built his legacy on bulldozing peace talks, starving the Palestinian Authority, and nurturing Hamas like a twisted bonsai tree — has now stumbled into crafting the very conditions that make a Palestinian state not only possible but inevitable.
🧠 The Genius Plan: Sabotage Statehood at All Costs
Netanyahu’s fear of a Palestinian state borders on obsession — like a ghost that haunts him in every diplomatic corridor. His vision? A perpetually fragmented Palestinian society: Hamas ruling Gaza with rockets and iron, while the Palestinian Authority withers in the West Bank under economic suffocation, checkpoints, and public humiliation.
Divide. Undermine. Delay. Repeat.
A state that’s too fractured to stand? Perfect.
A leadership too divided to negotiate? Even better.
🧨 Let Hamas Bloom, Crush the PA
Brilliant strategy: Feed them and strangle the moderates.
Years of calculated negligence allowed Hamas to entrench itself in Gaza — a convenient enemy to justify perpetual siege and avoid peace talks. Meanwhile, the PA — the very body the international community wants to deal with — has been treated like a pest:
- Tax revenues? Withheld.
- Economy? Choked.
- Land? Eaten alive by settlements.
- Dignity? Publicly shredded.
And then came October 7 — the moment Netanyahu’s house of cards burst into flames. Hamas, the Frankenstein he helped grow, unleashed a horror that shattered Israel’s illusion of “managed conflict.” The cost? Thousands dead. Gaza in ruins. International outrage at a boiling point.
💣 The Grand Backfire
And now? Netanyahu’s nightmare is rearing its head — not through negotiations, but through global pressure. The world — tired, furious, and traumatized — is looking at the only exit door that’s ever been on the table: a Palestinian state.
The very idea Netanyahu choked, stalled, and sabotaged is now being whispered in Washington, Brussels, and even in Israeli defense circles. Not out of moral awakening — no — but because his policies have made all alternatives look far worse.
- Reoccupy the West Bank? Hello, apartheid 2.0.
- Let it fall into chaos? Hamas 2.0, this time right next to Tel Aviv.
- Keep status quo? That illusion’s been bombed to dust.
🕳️ A Hole Dug So Deep, It Might Be a Tunnel to Ramallah
The PA is now a ghost. If it collapses completely, Israel gets two choices:
- Reimpose direct rule over millions of Palestinians — a fiscal, military, and moral black hole.
- Watch radical groups rise from the ashes and turn the West Bank into another Gaza.
Either path ends in disaster. Either path brings more pressure for a political solution. And guess what that solution looks like?
Yes. The dreaded, terrifying, monstrous Palestinian state.

📌 The Ironic Legacy of Bibi the Bulldozer
Let’s not pretend this was intentional. Netanyahu didn’t miscalculate — he misbelieved. He believed division was strategy. He believed humiliation equals peace. He believed stalling history could freeze it.
But reality has a cruel sense of humor. And now, the “day after” every diplomat is whispering about includes phrases Netanyahu fought his entire life to bury:
- Two-state solution.
- Final status talks.
- Palestinian sovereignty.
Netanyahu, the arsonist, may go down in history as the accidental architect of the very state he spent decades trying to erase from the map.
📣 A Final Word
The tragic brilliance of this moment isn’t that Netanyahu outplayed himself.
It’s that in crushing every path to dignity, he made the demand for justice louder.
In trying to erase hope, he made it burn brighter.
What irony. What poetic catastrophe. What a masterclass in how not to kill an idea.
And what a reminder that oppression, no matter how elaborate or militarized, always ends up feeding the very resistance it seeks to destroy.
