The choice of permanent occupation over addressing reasonable Palestinian aspirations will make it more and more difficult for Israel’s allies to understand and support its measures for self-defense. An Israeli last stand for occupation will further strengthen the hand of Iran and, with it, Hezbollah and Hamas.If the right succeeds in quashing the two-state option, and the Palestinian Authority disintegrates, leaving the local field to Hamas, such targets as Ben-Gurion International Airport, the towers of Tel Aviv and the settlements themselves will be much more difficult to defend. The security burden of policing an anarchic West Bank will greatly intensify.
