Israel's president, Isaac Herzog, spoke out against the two-state solution after the war in Gaza, in line with other Israeli officials.
Herzog said: “What I want to urge is against just saying two-state solution. Why? Because there is an emotional chapter here that must be dealt with. My nation is bereaving. My nation is in trauma.”
Speaking to The Associated Press, Isaac Herzog said now is not the time to talk about an independent state due to Israel's recent pain from the Hamas attack on the seventh of October.
He added, “In order to get back to the idea of dividing the land, of negotiating peace or talking to the Palestinians, etc., one has to deal first and foremost with the emotional trauma that we are going through and the need and demand for a full sense of security for all people.”
