Ido Aharoni, MA Biography
- Title:
- Counsel General of Israel in New York
- Position:
- Pro to the question "Is a Two-State Solution (Israel and Palestine) an Acceptable Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict?"
- Reasoning:
-
“The future that we want for all our children can only be achieved if the Palestinian people recognize the harm that accepting Hamas will continue to have on attaining a peaceful two-state solution. Israel is ready to live side-by-side in peace with its Palestinian neighbors, but Palestinians must change the way they view Hamas, and reject its core values and objectives.”
