Netanyahu has called the event futile, rigged and “a relic of the past”, adding: “It’s a last gasp of the past before the future sets in.”

For once, I think he's right. We need to accept that Israel has successfully killed the two-state solution, that the settlements and occupation are here to stay, and that the only way forward is international pressure on Israel to grant all the Palestinians full citizenship and equal rights.
