Today, MK Uri Ariel (National Union) captures the next phase of the evolving Israeli attitude: openly welcoming it because it will allow Israel to do away once and for all with that pesky two-state idea:
MK Uri Ariel (National Union) said that he hoped the Palestinian Authority would declare a unilateral independent state. “I pray that Mahmoud Abbas will declare a unilateral states,” Ariel said. “Only in this way will be be able to completely abrogate the cursed Oslo Accords, which has forced us to pay a high price in our blood, and has brought PLO terrorists into the center of the State of Israel.”
Ariel said that if the PA does declare a state, “Israel will have no choice but to immediately annex all Jewish towns in Judea and Samaria – in essence, all of the area, finally making it an integral part of the state.”
