Making a mockery of John Kerry’s peace efforts is an obsession of the Israeli right. This week, it was the Likud Transportation Minister, Yisrael Katz, who got into the act, announcing a plan for massive railroad construction in both Israel and the West Bank. This, however, could also present opportunities for proponents of both one-state and two-state resolutions of this conflict, if they can find ways to take advantage of it.
Katz is a fierce opponent of peace. As Amira Hass points out, “This is the minister who recently said on the Walla website that ‘a Palestinian state is unacceptable, mainly because of our right to this land.’” His purpose in putting forth this plan is to connect the West Bank settlements more thoroughly to each other and to Israel.
