Shlomo Ben-Ami

Shlomo Ben-Ami, former Israeli Foreign Minister and a professor dedicated to the two-state solution, offers his candid views on the ongoing Gaza conflict and international responses. He critiques the push for Palestinian state recognition, calling it a sign of despair rather than a viable solution. Ben-Ami reflects on how the conflict has morphed from a 'legitimate war of self-defense' into 'merciless, cruel vengeance,' and explains why 'total victory' over Hamas is, in his eyes, unattainable.
