On a plan – Amir Tibon in Haaretz:

‘As for the passing reference to Palestinian statehood in the UN resolution, it's important to understand how these words made their way into the text, and what their addition tells us about the Trump administration's next steps in the Middle East. This doesn't mean in any way that Trump is now committed to the two-state solution or that his administration will put an end to the despicable violence carried out by extremist Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank. For Trump, these words are no more than a line he was forced to add to the U.S. resolution in order to ensure the support of his Arab allies. Nothing more, nothing less.
The reason it still matters is the shift in Trump's approach compared to his own previous plans for Gaza. This is, after all, the U.S. president who just nine months ago spoke about deporting the entire population of Gaza to other countries, taking over the land and turning it into an American-run casino strip. Trump also expressed being open, at the beginning of his second term, to supporting Israeli annexation of the West Bank.
The fantasies of Ministers Bezalel Smotrich, Itamar Ben-Gvir and the other fanatics in Netanyahu's coalition have been put to rest, replaced by an international plan that includes Arab forces in Gaza and a "path to" Palestinian statehood. That by itself is an important development – regardless of what will eventually come out of the entire plan.’

The fantasies of Smotrich and Ben-Gvir have been put to rest.

The status quo looks a bit more palatable if you look at these fantasies.

But if the status quo before October 7 really has come to an end is still very much an open question.

The fact that this UN resolution was approved was above all, as NYT put it, a ‘diplomatic victory’ for Trump.

If it was a victory for the Gazans and the Israelis? We will see. I remain skeptical.

But yes, the death of certain fantasies is definitely a bonus.
