Doing so would save Israel its defense budget totaling 188 billion shekels ($63 billion)
Instead of complaining about the U.S. agreement with Iran; instead of holding onto territory in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and Syria and killing and being killed there every day; instead of a defense budget totaling 188 billion shekels ($63 billion); and instead of complaining about various other countries’ attitudes toward Israel, there is one thing we can and must do: make a peace agreement with the Palestinian Authority to create a Palestinian state in the territory Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas seeks – the territory Israel captured in 1967, including East Jerusalem and Gaza.
