Both Israelis and Palestinians would need new leadership if they are to make peace with each other, Hillary Clinton said on Thursday.
The former American first lady, senator, secretary of state, and 2016 presidential front-runner was speaking via video link at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore.
“Hamas is not a partner for any kind of peace or two-state solution,” Clinton told Bloomberg editor-in-chief John Micklethwait. She added that peace might be achieved by the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and whoever ends up in charge of Gaza after the war with Israel.
When asked about Netanyahu’s potential to negotiate a two-state solution, Clinton replied, “I don’t think there is any evidence of that. I think the Israeli people will have to decide about his leadership.”
Clinton also commented on the likelihood of a ceasefire in Gaza, saying that it would
“freeze the situation in Hamas’ favor”
and is therefore unlikely to be accepted by Israel. Netanyahu might be willing to accept
“humanitarian pauses”
so that aid could reach the civilians in Gaza and Hamas could release the hostages taken in the October 7 attacks, she added.
