According to David Frum, a writer for The Atlantic magazine and a pro-Israel commentator, Palestinian statehood is not the solution. Frum suggests that Israel and the United States should focus on day-to-day necessities for the Palestinians, like food and water, rather than seeking a solution. He also believes that Israel’s response to the recent Hamas attack was inevitable and that Israel has never been allowed as much scope to act by the US, United Kingdom, and European Union.
The conversation also covers the internal debates within Israeli society and how Israel envisions the future of the region, including potential rapprochement with Saudi Arabia.
