'Five stage plan for Greater Land of Israel' by the Israeli ambassador to UK

In an interview on Sky News UK, the Israeli ambassador to the UK, Tzipi Hotovely, said "absolutely no" to a future Palestinian state.

Hotovely claimed that after 7 October, a Palestinian state wasn't possible, although she has long-held views denying the existence of a Palestinian state.

Na'amod, a British based Jewish organisation that opposes the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land has translated Tzipi Hotovely’s expansionist essay "The Five Stage Plan for the Greater Land of Israel" written in 2013. 

Hotovely says "The long years of propaganda for the vision of 'two states for two peoples' have obstructed the most basic desire harboured by a majority of Israeli citizens - not to give up territory that was conquered through blood."

She lays out five steps of what Israel should do to annex the West Bank: 

1. Israeli needs to encourage at least 2 million Jews from its 9 million strong diaspora to move to Israel in order to ensure a Jewish majority even as it absorbs more Palestinians from the occupied West Bank
2. Legislating a Citizenship Law which stipulates that full Israeli citizenship is conditional on joining the Israeli army - a proposal that few Palestinians would likely take up and ensuring that Palestinians would remain stateless
3. Applying sovereignty over the areas of Jewish settlement currently defined as Area C and giving the Palestinians there full Israeli citizenship
4. Adopting as a Basic Law the principle of the State of Israel being a Jewish nation-state [fulfilled by the Nation-State Bill of 2018]
5. Absorbing Palestinian areas of the West Bank known as Area A and B will be done as Jewish migration to Israeli increases to ensure a "solid Jewish majority"

In 2010, Hotovely, then the youngest Likud Knesset member, argued that a "bi-national danger" is preferable to a Palestinian state.

"In the bi-national process we have a degree of control, but the moment you abandon the area to the Palestinian entity, what control do you have over what will happen there," she asked. 

"I want it to be clear that I do not recognise national rights of Palestinians in the Land of Israel. I recognise their human rights and their individual rights, and also their individual political rights — but between the sea and the Jordan there is room for one state, a Jewish state," she said.
