As Israel weighs the options on its eastern border, we’ve invited five experts―with different points of view―to outline the arguments of the debate. Whether you call it annexation or applying sovereignty, check out our special five-part symposium https://mosaicmagazine.com/essay/israel-zionism/2020/06/examining-israels-eastern-borders/
First up, former Labor MK @EinatWilf argues that Israel’s annexation debate is the final step in determining its permanent borders―a process that has been ongoing since the country’s founding https://mosaicmagazine.com/response/israel-zionism/2020/06/wilf-israels-final-border/
But @EVKontorovich addresses critics on the right. He compares Israel’s present opportunity to when the Jewish state applied its sovereignty to east Jerusalem after the Six-Day War―it’s an opportunity not to be missed https://mosaicmagazine.com/response/israel-zionism/2020/06/kontorovich-israel-should-act-now/
In part three of our eastern border symposium, IDF general Gershon Hacohen contends that effective Israeli security requires control of the Jordan Valley―a view also held by Yitzhak Rabin himself https://mosaicmagazine.com/response/israel-zionism/2020/06/hacohen-israels-interests-in-the-west-bank/
For @ShMMor, a big annexation―like the one proposed―would be destined to fail. Now is instead the time for Israel to make meaningful advances in its Arab and European relationships https://mosaicmagazine.com/response/israel-zionism/2020/06/mor-annexation-would-be-a-missed-opportunity/
