What Israel needs if Middle East normalization is finally to happen

Policymakers envision an era of “normalization” after the current round of fighting in the Middle East concludes.

That would sit well with Israel.

After all, the icon of Zionism, Theodor Herzl, dreamed of a “normal” Jewish state.

There is one catch, however: “Normalization” between Israel and Palestine does not ​​exist in law or diplomacy.

Incredibly, the enthusiasm for normalization stems from the fact that Israel’s adversaries have conducted a war on the Jews from first day of the country’s creation in 1948.

The League of Arab States sent a cablegram to the United Nations the next day declaring its policy to be the liquidation of the Jews in Palestine, and the war against the Jews continues to this day.
