The First Middle East War (1948- 1949): Also known as the Palestinian War, Israel called it the "War of Independence". 1May 194814th, Israel declared its founding. The next morning, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Egypt and other Arab countries sent troops to attack Israel.

The Second Middle East War (1956- 1957): Also known as Suez Canal War, Israel called it "Sinai Campaign". 1956 10, Britain, France and Israel jointly launched an attack on Egypt on the pretext that Egypt announced the nationalization of Suez Canal Company and prohibited ships from crossing the Canal and straits of tiran.

The Third Middle East War (1967): Also known as the Sixth Five-Year War, the Arab countries called it the June War, and Israel called it the Six-Day War. 1On the morning of June 5, 967, Israel launched a surprise attack on Egypt, Syria and Jordan on the pretext that Egypt blocked the Gulf of Aqaba.

The fourth Middle East War (1973,65438+1October 6 to 65438+1October 26) is also called Yom Kippur War, Ramadan War and October War. Originated in Egypt and Syria, it is intended to recover the Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights occupied by Israel six years ago. In the first day or two of the war, the Egyptian-Syrian alliance clearly prevailed, but then the situation reversed. By the second week, the Syrian army had withdrawn from the Golan Heights. In Sinai, Israeli troops were caught between the two armies and crossed the Suez Canal (the former ceasefire line).

The Fifth Middle East War (June-September, 1982): Also known as Lebanon War. 1On June 6, 982, Israel sent troops to occupy a quarter of Lebanon, attacked the PLO and its armed forces in Lebanon, and fought with the Syrian army in Lebanon.

For Palestinians, June 5, 20 17 is the anniversary of the "Six-Day War"-also known as "Naxar"-and the 50th anniversary of the Israeli occupation, because the peace agreement is still far away.

Although some people still believe that the two-state solution is the only way for Palestinians and Israelis to live in peace, others are increasingly questioning whether it is possible for two independent countries to achieve peace.

So, which is more realistic: a Palestinian and an Israeli living together, or two independent countries?

To discuss this issue, we interviewed Gideon Levy, an Israeli journalist and writer from Tel Aviv. He believes that there is no viable solution for an independent Palestinian state.

"We must face the reality that the two-state solution is a train that unfortunately left the station, instead of standing at the station waiting for it to come back. We should change the way of discussion," said Levy, who is also a columnist for Ha 'aretz. "The agreement on the two-state solution is empty."

Ashrawi, a former Palestinian negotiator from Ramallah and a member of the PLO Executive Committee, expressed the hope that the two countries would reach an agreement.

Ashrawi said: "This is a flawed solution, but at the same time, it is a solution that the Palestinians have agreed to." Yes, Israel is systematically undermining the two-State solution. But if it succeeds, how can it be replaced? This is the real problem. "

Laura Friedman, president of the Middle East Peace Foundation, called the country's solution "fantasy".

"The two-State solution is not an ideal solution for anyone, it is not a perfect solution ..." "We think this is the only pragmatic choice," Friedman said, as I can see, this is the only reality for the end of the conflict. "

Also in the studio, Yousef Munayyer, a Palestinian-American writer and political analyst, believes that the two-state solution is dead.

"What we are facing today is the problem of one country, not two countries," said Munaye, who is also the executive director of the Palestinian Rights Movement in the United States. He said: "We have a conflict in a country because the Palestinian people have no basic rights at all.
