Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has once again stepped to the forefront of the conversation regarding U.S. support for Israel, making headlines with his forthright stance against the long-advocated two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Addressing attendees at the Israeli American Council Summit in Washington, DeSantis labeled the two-state solution as a "canard" that Palestinians see as a "stepping stone to the destruction of Israel."
His remarks come amid heightened tensions around antisemitism and violent protests against Israel on college campuses across the United States.
"The idea that a two-state solution will bring peace is simply a misconception," he argued, urging Americans to recognize that endorsing such a proposal may inadvertently bolster calls for Israel's eradication.
DeSantis emphasized the need for the U.S. to adopt a clear-eyed view of its alliance with Israel, stating that chants common at protests, including "From the River to the Sea," represent nothing short of genocidal intent.
"These students need a history lesson. There has never been a Palestinian Arab state," he remarked, outlining historical connections and the violent conflicts that have ensued following the rejection of statehood by Arab nations in the past.
His comments come as he continues to champion pro-Israel legislation in Florida, including measures aimed at combating antisemitism and ensuring security for Jewish schools.
By positioning himself firmly against the two-state solution and highlighting antisemitic incidents, DeSantis is not only making a strong case for Israel but also aligning himself with a significant voting bloc that prioritizes unwavering support for the Jewish state.
This latest statement reinforces DeSantis's profile as a staunch ally of Israel, setting himself apart in the increasingly crowded Republican field and resonating with constituents who share his commitment to combating antisemitism and supporting U.S.-Israel relations.
