AND WHAT MAY AN ISRAELI "CHANGING OF THE GUARD" MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF ISRAEL, FOR A "STATE OF PALESTINE", FOR THE RAND CORPORATION'S "ARC PLAN", AND FOR IRAN'S NUCLEAR ASPIRATIONS?

RAND CORPORATION "ARC PLAN"
FOR A "STATE OF PALESTINE"
<https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB9119.html>
THE REAL STORY IS THAT -- UNLESS THE LAPID-LED COALITION GOVERNMENT FAILS TO OCCUR, AND IF NETANYAHU REMAINS IN POWER -- EITHER WAY, MANSOUR ABBAS WILL HAVE A TOP LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT, ESTABLISHING ARAB PRESENCE INTO THE MINISTERIAL AND SECURIY ROLES OF ISRAELI GOVERNMENT AT A CLEARANCE LEVEL NEVER BEFORE SEEN IN ISRAEL'S GOVERNMENT.
So what does this mean?
Is this a "kumbayah" moment in Israeli history between the Jews and the Arabs within the boundaries of Israel?
Or is this a pivotal moment towards the creation of something that never before existed in history, a State of Palestine?
The clue to answering this question is to remember the Rand Corporation "Arc" Plan for a "State of Palestine", to remember the likely Biden role in this Plan, and to remember the Roman Road to Masada (the breaching of Masada is the relentless model of European/American Policy towards Israel).
Above are a few images and a link to detailed information about the Rand Plan, which uses "Jacob's Ladder" as a geographic template by which to bifurcate Israel while linking Gaza, the "West Bank", and Haifa. This linkage creates a transportaion contiguity between Gaza and the "West Bank" (Judea-Samaria), disrupting Israel and making for a contiguous "State of Palestine", also integrating this new "State" into Israel's north at the Israeli port city of Haifa.
How such a Plan makes for Israeli security is beyond imagination, as it posits an imaginary reality of a desire and will to peace from "Palestininan" entities that are committed to Israel's annihilation.
Where may Mansour Abbas fit in?
There are three possibilities: (1) immediately obvious roles for Mansour Abbas in the highest levels of Israel's Government; (2) resurrection of Left-Wing Zionism's vestigal teleology to see a joint Jewish-Arab "One-State Solution" [called either "Palestine" or "Israel"] uniting the "West Bank" and "Gaza" with "Israel"; or, (3) a working relationship between Israel's Jewish leadership and Masour Abbas that may ultimately lead to Israeli divestment of East Jerusalem to enable a "State of Palestine" capitolled in East Jerusalem with Mansour Abbas as leader of the new "State of Palestine" (he may be the only anti-Zionist political figure with sufficient stature to broker a "State of Palestine" into existence in which Hamas and Fatah and Israeli Arabs (who may prefer to live as citizens of a "State of Palestine") may co-exist and share government.
Demographics and facts on the ground determine the politics even as the politics may determine the facts on the ground or even the demographics.
Facts in the air also determine the politics: missiles and tunnels from Gaza, missiles and tunnels from Lebanon, missiles (possibly nuclear) and the "land bridge" from Iran through Iraq, Jordan, and Syria into Israel....
Most important may not be whether or not it is Lapid or Bennett or Netanyahu in the PM role, so much as the deeper meaning of the presence of Mansour Abbas in the Government, and the ability of a unity government to act with versatility and flexibility in the best interests of the State of Israel (this latter is the great question, as indications from Benny Gantz and Lapid and Bennet are that once (and if) Netanyahu is no longer in office, the reins of power will shift to a coaltion of conflicting interests that will hopefully tear each other apart before Iran goes nuclear).
