In an interview with Times Radio, Gershon Baskin shares his feelings that there is “no chance of peace” in the region as long as Netanyahu is in power as he has dismissed a Palestinian state.
“If we want to defeat the idea of Hamas and the ideology of Hamas, Palestine needs to become real for the Palestinian people, not just an open ended peace process that goes on forever.”

Gershon Baskin senses that Israel’s prime minister is using antisemitism to cover up domestic scandals and exploiting the war for his own self-interest. He also criticises the Palestinian side, which must prepare the ground for elections postponed for far too long. Qatar's step back should be used to restart negotiations.
