Israeli political science Professor Galia Golan has in recent years focused her research on opportunities that the government of Israel has missed to advance peace with its neighbors or to avert wars. A recent Israeli State Comptroller report asserts that Prime Minister Netanyahu and his then-minister of defense Moshe Ya’alon were advised of possible ways to avert the 2014 “Protective Edge” Gaza war, but did not discuss them with members of the Cabinet. Golan says the decision to wage war fits into a longtime Israeli leadership pattern that mainly stems from a deep mistrust of the other side. Golan also addresses the Israeli government’s de-facto creeping annexation of portions of the West Bank, pointing out that such actions are slamming the door on the two-state solution and pushing Israel into a state of apartheid.
