On vested interests - former Shin Bet chief Carmi Gillon in an interview by Ravit Hecht in Haaretz:

‘Former Shin Bet security service chief Carmi Gillon doesn’t mince words when describing the destruction he believes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is wreaking in Israel.
But there’s a positive surprise, even though he thinks “Netanyahu is the reason for all the awful things happening here, in every sphere.” “The fact that Bibi Netanyahu is a coward and doesn’t make critical decisions – in every situation, Hamas, Iran – is sometimes for the good; for example, his ability to absorb damage from Gaza,” says Gillon, who headed the Shin Bet in 1995 and 1996.

“He gets an onslaught of missiles and everybody pressures him to take Gaza apart, and he doesn’t allow it – not because he’s less of a populist than they are. He doesn’t allow it because he’s afraid to make tough decisions,” says Gillon, who was one of the interviewees in the acclaimed 2012 documentary “The Gatekeepers.”

So according to this approach he won’t do an annexation in the West Bank, either.
“In my view, no. It will end with some kind of connecting of Ma’aleh Adumim to Jerusalem.”’

‘But he adds: “The Palestinians got screwed because the Palestinian question is a non-issue around the world. The Western world is now occupied with two subjects: migration and the coronavirus. Who is interested in this fakakta Palestinian issue?” Gillon asks, using a Yiddish word basically meaning screwed-up.

“In parallel, the same process occurred in the moderate Arab states, of which there were increasingly more. Who’s better as an ally against Iran than Israel? It’s true that no Arab state will sign an agreement with Israel without going through Ramallah. But in practice, a new axis is developing here that consists entirely of vested interests,” he says.’

Indeed, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict became, rather quickly, a non-issue in the world.
Non-issues can become issues of course, but as long as this is a non-issue nothing will change.

And vested interests are at best about bread and butter, it’s realistic to think that they are about minor and less minor corruption, you scratch my back and I, well.

Justice is not even an afterthought.
