Israel’s far right seems to believe that destroying Palestinian governance will afford Israel more strength. On the contrary—it is a mistake that will become expensive, bloody, and self-destructive as it accelerates the cycles of resentment and violence. And Washington, too, stands to lose a great deal by turning a blind eye to the West Bank: the PA’s collapse will remove any plausible path toward the kind of regional stabilization and effective postwar settlement on which the Trump administration has staked much of its foreign policy legacy.

Actually the Oslo Accords were not a failure it worked as intended. It was a temporary plan to ease up Palestinians anger and be easier to control Palestinians. Area C is the part where the most valuable resources are so they focused on this part so it is fully under Israel control while the rest is partially controlled by the Palestinians authority that will serve as a security force to protect Israel and the colonies and settler terrorists .

Rabin himself said he will not give a fully independent Palestinian sate , he never planed to give back all Palestinians rights that international laws give them . Palestinians should get back all of the west bank , all of Gaza and east Jerusalem. It didn't include Palestinians right to an army to defend itself and not even full control of .

We view the permanent solution... alongside [the State of Israel] a Palestinian entity ** which will be a home to most of the Palestinian residents living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. We would like this to be an ** entity which is less than a state , and which will independently run the lives of the Palestinians under its authority

In the Oslo II Accord documents

**Article V of Annex I: ** This explicitly states that Israel retains the "overriding responsibility for security" and for the external borders, including the border with Jordan and Egypt.

At crossings like the Allenby Bridge (to Jordan), Palestinian travelers had to pass through an Israeli-controlled security layer. Even today, the Palestinian Authority has no authority to stamp a passport and grant entry to a foreigner without Israeli systems being involved.

Article XIII of Annex I: This section states that Israel retains exclusive control over all airspace in the West Bank and Gaza.

Well hopefully the Likud lose power this year so that a better deal can be worked out and implemented

Yitzhak Rabin was not from the likud party. The likud party is not even the most extreme party Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich are not from the likud party.

Zionism is the real problem, the ideology behind the colonization
