The divisions between Israel and the United States over the Gaza War seem to have deepened in the aftermath of the release of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan for post-war Gaza. The plan did not include a reference to one of Washington’s key demands from Israel: that it accept the idea of establishing an independent Palestinian state.
The Israeli plan was “at odds with US aims” and bound to lead to tensions between the two countries, predicted the Financial Times. The Economist concluded that “Israel scorns America’s unprecedented peace plan.”
Indeed, the American media narrative contrasted the American plan for the “Day After” in Gaza, advanced by Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and backed by Saudi Arabia, with Netanyahu’s vision, putting into sharper focus “the widening gap between Netanyahu and the Biden Administration on the occupied territories and future of post-war Gaza.”
Are the Israeli and American visions for the “Day After” as irreconcilable as the pundits suggest?
More likely, they represent the tensions between an American position—that is aligned with the view of Saudi Arabia and other Arab-Sunni governments—and Israeli public concerns over the security threat that an independent Palestinian state would pose. American and Israeli policymakers can try to bridge these differences by setting Palestinian independence as a long-term goal.
