Ending Control, Not Managing Conflict: Palestinian Liberation and the Future of Israel-Palestine

Overview

In this article for the Palestine-Israel Journal, Carol Daniel-Kasbari argues that peace cannot be achieved by managing repeated crises while leaving occupation, blockade, settlement expansion, forced displacement, and Israeli control over Palestinian life intact. She calls for Palestinian political authority and meaningful international leverage and accountability, advancing a central proposition: Palestinian freedom is not the enemy of Israeli security—it is the condition for it.
