Israel needs dove candidates
Here’s some really good news about the prospects for a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. A very right-wing member of the present government, Naftali Bennett, who is Israel’s economic minister, made a speech in January. In effect, he said he can not permit the two-state solution.
