Former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon declared on Wednesday that there would not be a final settlement between Israel and the Palestinians in the near future, Jeremy Sharon reports in the Jerusalem Post.
“We are not going to reach a final settlement [with the Palestinians] in the coming future, but on the other hand, I don’t want to rule them, and I can live with two Palestinian political entities, [including] Hamastan [in Gaza].” He added, “I cannot accept this idea that there are certain territories in the Land of Israel that are forbidden for Jews.”
Ya’alon also discussed the three radical Islamist movements that are dominating the region: the Iranian-Shi’a hegemony, the radical Sunni jihadists and the advancement of the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the “neo-Ottoman” designs of Turkey under President Erdogan. With the disengagement of the U.S. from the Middle East, “the vacuum has been filled by these three elements struggling for hegemony in the region, and will dominate the political struggle and military, economic struggles in the region for the years to come.”

I miss his tough talking responses after every terrorist attack by the Palestinians against inoccent Israeli men women & children. That tough talk really had those Palestinians shaking in their boots. Just the mention of Ya’alon, brought dreaded fear to them.
