After the setback, it took the West Bank and Gaza Strip two full decades to take the initiative. The first intifada was the “Intifada of Stones,” which was considered the greatest popular liberation movement of the twentieth century.
In recent years, a new, rebellious generation has emerged, characterized by its ferocity and rejection of reality. The West Bank stands on a threshold of 1967 as if the setback were two decades after. To prepare for a new phase that began two decades ago with sporadic cases of resistance, Jordan and Israel need to maintain the status quo.
