Calls for Palestinian Statehood Amid Israel’s Regional Dominance, Global Isolation, West Bank Violence, and Axis of Resistance Weakening

Amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, calls for international efforts to establish Palestinian statehood have intensified as a means to prevent further deterioration of the situation. Analysts note a broad majority within Israel supporting harsh measures against Palestinians, contributing to Israel's increasing regional dominance. This shift has led to growing global isolation for Israel, while some Arab states reconsider their stance on normalization, mistakenly associating prosperity with the current trajectory over Palestine. The weakening of the so-called "Axis of Resistance" has empowered Israel's maximalist factions, potentially signaling a broader strategy to neutralize Iran beyond its nuclear ambitions. Concurrently, concerns are rising over Israel's policy of "Gazafication" in the West Bank, characterized by escalating violence from settlers, which undermines the viability of a two-state solution.
