Robert Fisk, PhD Biography
- Title:
- Middle East Correspondent for The Independent
- Position:
- Pro to the question "Is a Two-State Solution (Israel and Palestine) an Acceptable Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict?"
- Reasoning:
-
“Salah Atamari, former governor… [states] ‘as a Fatah member, we always advocated a one-state solution where we live with Israelis with equal rights in one democratic state. I think this is inevitable, after maybe 50, or 100 years. Peace is inevitable…’ I ponder this thought. I do not believe in the one-state solution.”
