Opinion | Rabin? Closer to Gantz than to Michaeli Israel today

2021-11-10T22:43:53.416Z


The aspiration to secede from the Palestinians did lead Rabin to the Oslo process. Two actions by Defense Minister Bnei Gantz provoked opposition on the Israeli left. The first action was the declaration of Palestinian civil society organizations as terrorist organizations. The second action - giving his hand to the approval of the construction of thousands of apartments in Judea and Samaria. As a result, Minister Merav Michaeli argued against Bnei Gantz that he is not Yitzhak R


Two actions by Defense Minister Bnei Gantz provoked opposition on the Israeli left.

The first action was the declaration of Palestinian civil society organizations as terrorist organizations.

The second action - giving his hand to the approval of the construction of thousands of apartments in Judea and Samaria. As a result, Minister Merav Michaeli argued against Bnei Gantz that he is not Yitzhak Rabin. 

In his last speech in the Knesset, on October 5, 1995, in the debate on Phase II of the Oslo Plan, Prime Minister Rabin outlined a concise conceptual framework emphasizing four principles: striving to "establish the State of Israel as a Jewish state, with at least 80% Jews"; "A united Jerusalem, which will include both Ma'ale Adumim and Givat Ze'ev as the capital of Israel under Israeli sovereignty"; "Independently the lives of the Palestinians under her authority."

It is true that Yitzhak Rabin sought the transfer of the territories in Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip to the Palestinian Authority, under the control of the Palestinian Authority. And B to the Authority. 

In every way, Rabin sought to preserve under Israeli control the United Jerusalem and the areas in Judea and Samaria that he marked as Area C. These areas include all Israeli localities, IDF camps, main roads, vital control areas and the open space coming from the Jordan Valley. Personal is accurate to the last detail, and they express the space he perceived as necessary for Israel, its existence and its protection.  

On the slippery slope into which the process fell, with the entry of former Prime Minister Ehud Barak into negotiations on a permanent agreement at Camp David in 2000, the Rabin outline was replaced by the Clinton outline, which set new principles.

The proposals of Prime Ministers Barak and Olmert later included an agreement on the division of Jerusalem, a complete waiver of the Jordan Valley and an exchange of territories in exchange for the "settlement blocs."

Here is the essential split point between Rabin's conception and the path of the Israeli left.

The desire to separate from the Palestinians did lead Rabin to the Oslo process.

However, the leaders of the Israeli left deny the fact that in terms of the Rabin plan, which has emerged since the end of Israeli control of about 90% of the Palestinians, has fully exhausted the quest to end this control.  

It is worth emphasizing how in the midst of the Oslo Rabin process he personally promoted the construction of the main arteries in Judea and Samaria, including the tunnel road to Gush Etzion, the Ramallah bypass road and the Ariel road. The new roads accelerated the development of Israeli settlement Protective wall.

An in-depth study of Rabin's perception can show that he would probably have had difficulty finding his place in Merav Michaeli's Labor Party today.
