This manifesto critiques the flawed two-state policy of the United States regarding Israel and the Palestinians, advocating for Israeli sovereignty in the region. The prevailing belief among elites is that establishing a Palestinian state will resolve the conflict and improve relations between the Arab world and Israel. Proponents argue that this solution would alleviate the root causes of violent extremism in the Middle East. Despite attracting bipartisan support, the two-state solution has proven to be one of the most ineffective policies adopted by the U.S. Between 1970 and 2013, nine peace plans were proposed, yet the two-state approach has failed to bring stability, resulting in increased violence and radicalization. The author examines misconceptions surrounding the policy, including errors in population estimates from the 1997 Palestinian Census, the history of Palestinian anti-Semitism and terrorism, and Israel's legitimate claims to territorial sovereignty under international law. Additionally, polling data indicates that many Palestinians admire Israeli society. Despite enduring terrorism and regional hostility, Israel has emerged as the Middle East's only democracy. This work proposes an alternative path to stability based on Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, moving away from the unsuccessful two-state framework.
