In all my over 40 years in Israel, I have never heard of Pinhas Inbari. He may be an "expert" but he seems a bit naive. His is the kind of thinking that brought us to October 7th.
He denies that the "Palestinians" are Jew-haters⁉️ That's just absurd. The only thing he said that made any sense is that we must do and not talk. Work quietly at what is best for Israel. But the rest of what he said... unrealistic bordering on extreme naivete.
Not sure the Chambers of Commerce could keep money out of the hands of the PA .
Re-education for at least a generation would be needed before the Arabs of the West Bank/Judea and Samaria would accept any sort of end to hostilities.
If you watch Corey Gil Shuster's short videos of vox pop interviews on YouTube (The Ask Project) the majority want Israeli Jews to be gone . The younger they are - the more extreme their views.
“Oslo failed “ is an under statement , how many people lost their lives since? Too many , including OCT 7 . The Government after 67’ war that gave us control of judea & samaria , Jerusalem including the temple mount , didn’t take advantage of this historic opportunity to be in control of all Ererts Israel , the peace agreement with Jordan didn’t include a Palestinian State , they were asking Israel to give the Pals a kind of Autonomy , instead the cave in to terrorism by Arafat gangs and negotiated a Palestinian State with borders to be determined . Even prez. Clinton admitted he was cheated by Arafat .
But the problem needs to be addressed at the source: Palestinians' refusal to see Jews as human, and thus deserving of rights. They need to have their noses rubbed in it until they accept; Israel can no longer afford to pander to Palestinians' shame and embarrassment that the lowly and despised Yahud have rights.
The states in the region are either too weak for their opposition to have any effect, or are far more focused on their own interests/problems to wage war on Israel; Iran is the only exception. We may see a lot of public bluster and condemnation, but private support.
If Israel would formally extend full sovereignty to Judea and Samaria, and insist that Palestinians either accept Israeli sovereignty and residency status, or leave; the people staying behind having made the choice to accept Israel would have an enormous positive psychological effect on the Palestinian collective.
Ultimately, the entire point of the Palestine project was the destruction of Israel, not a better life for the descendants of those Arabs who fled the Israeli War of Independence. It is far from clear to me how many of them are even capable of living in peace alongside Israel.

I happen to be in agreement with you.
Me too 🙏🏽. It would resolve the problem of education, equal rights, employment and make those who hate Israel and the jews simply leave.
