David Hearst: How the Oslo Accords perpetuate Israeli occupation
For years, the two-state solution has been promoted as the most viable pathway to peace between Israel and Palestine. Yet, with increasing Israeli settlement activities and a lack of political will to reverse this trend, the concept has become more illusionary than ever.
David Hearst, the co-founder and Editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye, argues that the Oslo Accords, once heralded as a peace-making mechanism, have instead perpetuated Israeli occupation.
"The short answer is that while Oslo as a path to peace is clear dead, but as a formula for maintaining the occupation, Oslo is alive and well," says Hearst.
"Oslo as it exists today is not a peace process. That can only come when the occupation becomes too costly for the occupiers and only then will they start to negotiate."
