As the world is now talking about ‘Two States’ his biggest responsibility will be to give Palestinians their legitimate share by accepting Palestine as a state.
He will have to stop annexation and construction of settlements on occupied land and relinquish control of Gaza, West Bank and East Jerusalem.
A veteran politician, Herzog is a former head of the Labor Party, a former opposition leader, a former labor, social affairs and social services minister and Diaspora minister and is the son of Chaim Herzog, who served as Israel’s president from 1983 to 1993. Therefore, is perfectly aware of the issues and also the possible solutions
His openness deserves admiration, he said, “I call my opponent, Israel Prize-winning educator Miriam Peretz, a hero and an inspiration.”
US President Joe Biden words must be kept in mind, “Throughout his career, President-elect Herzog has demonstrated his unwavering commitment to strengthening Israel’s security, advancing dialogue and building bridges across the global Jewish community”.
Now, he has to build bridges to improve relationship with Palestinians, if he believes in ‘mutual coexistence’.
If he is serious in bringing peace and prosperity for Israelis, he will also have to eradicate hostilities against Palestinians.
Above all, he has to convert Gaza, world’s largest open air prison, into a peaceful neighborhood.
