Instead, many Palestinians are consumed by their own political moment. In a rare display of unity, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians observed a general strike on May 12 across Gaza, the West Bank and the refugee camps of Lebanon and in Israel itself. Rather than pursuing a Palestinian ministate bordering Israel, the focus is now on the pursuit of rights, freedom and justice in both the occupied territories and Israel. During Netanyahu’s current 12-year term, the Israeli-Palestinian peace process fizzled, and Netanyahu expressed increasing ambivalence about the possibility of a sovereign Palestinian state. Naftali Bennett, his likely replacement, is a former settler leader who rejects Palestinian statehood outright and would represent little improvement for Palestinians. Quotable: The events of the past few weeks were “like an earthquake,” said one seasoned Palestinian leader. “We are part of the global conversation on rights, justice, freedom, and Israel cannot close it down or censor it.” Israeli politics: [Israeli newspapers from across the political spectrum offered reactions](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRimZYVP4QFAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjEvMDUvMzEvd29ybGQvbWlkZGxlZWFzdC9pc3JhZWxpLW1lZGlhLW5ldGFueWFodS1iZW5uZXR0Lmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjEwNjAyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTMyMDI5Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtZXVyb3BlLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTU5NTkxJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpgrhURt2COm5E1Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) to the prospective coalition that were as fractured as the electorate.
