Concerns have been raised regarding Israel"s commitment to a two-state solution following the recent signing of a peace agreement with Hamas. Despite the optimism surrounding the agreement, there is currently no evidence that Israel has agreed in principle or in writing to establish a Palestinian state in Gaza and the West Bank.
Critics argue that Israel has not abandoned its pursuit of a greater Israeli state in the occupied territories. Observers caution against assuming that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is bound by any commitments made to secure the peace deal.
