Even in the context of Israel’s genocide in Palestine, calls for compromise have not abated. One recent call for compromise comes from Anwar Gargash, the diplomatic adviser to the United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed. In an interview at the Reuters NEXT Gulf Summit, Gargash reiterated the UAE’s support for the two-state paradigm which “provides Israel with security and Palestinians with a viable state.”

“Some policies are no longer valid and should not be reincarnated, the maximalist views on the Palestinian issue are no longer valid, we have to address the issue that we have two contending nationalisms fighting on one piece of land and that land has to be divided,” Gargash stated. 

This rhetoric, simplistic........
