Israel must take responsibility for its faults and not solely blame the Palestinian leadership for the conflict, as this covers up Israel's own failures and hinders the pursuit of peace. Israel's use of force over dialogue and its dismissal of the Arab Peace Initiative have contributed to the deterioration of the situation. Without a genuine willingness to pursue peace and a clear political vision, Israel will continue to struggle on the battlefield and in the political arena. It is essential for Israel to actively strive for an agreement and peace, rather than entrenching itself in victimhood.
