Lapid: Israel cannot try to absorb 3.5 million Palestinians and remain a Jewish and democratic state. What we need to do is separate from the Palestinians. There is a reason I’m not using the word peace. The majority of Israel says, “You know what? If it’s about peace, we don’t want what [former Israeli President] Shimon Peres used to call the ‘new Middle East.’” And you look at the new Middle East, the one we have, and I’m not very enthusiastic about it. But on the other hand, there are a lot of possibilities that weren’t there before. I’m advocating, among other things, a regional summit, and the fact that the Middle East has changed has also opened up some opportunities.
We have to do something, because time is not on our side. We can’t absorb 3.5 million Palestinians. If we won’t do anything in the next two years or three years, they will come to us and say, “OK, we realize there’s not going to be a Palestinian state. Let’s vote!” If we say no, we’re not a democracy. If we say yes, we’re not a Jewish state. I want to live in a Jewish state.
Goldberg: So far the only thing that saves Israel is shortsightedness in the Palestinian political class.
Lapid: True.
Goldberg: Like tomorrow, they could wake up and say, “Give us the vote in Israel,” and that would precipitate a crisis.
Lapid: And I want my country to have a policy, and it should be proactive. I want it to be Zionist, I want it to be security-oriented.
