| The new Israeli government's apparent intention to apply sovereignty to parts of the West Bank has seen various observers bemoaning the end of a two-state resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Anas Iqtait and Tristan Dunning were sure of this when writing in The Age and the Herald, and called on the Australian government to speak out against it. They also implied that the Palestinians are being treated worse than other groups on the international stage.
In fact, the Trump peace plan, with provisions allowing Israeli moves in the West Bank, not only doesn't prevent a Palestinian state, but may make one more likely. Meanwhile, the Palestinians receive vastly preferential treatment on the international stage, with Australia one of few countries principled enough to call this out. Without this favouritism, the Palestinians may well have had a state by now.
