Middle East-Jeremy Ben-Ami: “I don’t call it a two-state solution. I call it a 23-state solution”

by October 2026

In his conversation with Jacob Heilbrunn, the president of J Street, Jeremy Ben-Ami, advocates a “23-state solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He calls for full Israel’s integration into the Middle East, and a comprehensive regional peace agreement based on mutual security, normalization, and diplomacy rather than military force.
