Veteran Yesha (Judea and Samaria) journalist Haggai Segal says the best response to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s about-face on a new Arab state within Israel's borders is the tried-and-true growth-spurt method: Time to move to Yesha! Writing in the Makor Rishon newspaper, Segal analyzes the fine points of Netanyahu's recent speech at Bar Ilan University
Just three months ago,” Segal wrote, “Netanyahu refused to provide the goods to Tzipi Livni [when she demanded his consent to two-states as a condition for her joining the government – ed.], yet now he did. Obama has broken down his resistance. We can therefore expect that in another three months, we will hear an important speech by Bibi at Be’er Sheva University, followed by the Haifa University speech, until we ultimately end up with his Umm El-Fahm speech.”
