The Israeli government is rushing to pass legislation that undermines the possibility of a peace agreement with the Palestinians based on a two-state solution. The government is enacting laws hostile to the Palestinian Authority and Palestinians in general, with the aim of weakening the PA and asserting total Israeli control. The legislation is being driven by far-right coalition members, who see this as their opportunity to fulfill their dream of a 'Greater Israel.' They are passing laws that deny the PA the right to petition to Israel's Supreme Court, allow for the deportation of family members of those convicted of terrorism offenses, and deny visiting rights to high-security prisoners. This barrage of anti-Palestinian legislation suggests that the government is confident in its ability to push through its agenda, despite opposition at home and abroad.
