Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor and staunch supporter of Israel, declared that it was harder to defend Israel after the promulgation of state law the week last, warning that this would only exacerbate tensions with Jews in the diaspora.
The controversial nation-state law, pbaded last week by a margin of 62-55 in the Israeli parliament, defines Israel as the national homeland of the Jewish people and states that "the realization of the right to freedom" 39, national self-determination in Israel is unique to the Jewish people. "
The legal scholar was also consulted by US President Donald Trump about the long-awaited" agreement of the century, "which could not reach the light of day. the vexed recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
In an exclusive interview on "The Spin Room" On Wednesday, Dershowitz called the law of the state of Israel "unnecessarily pro-vocative," explaining that it " only gives ammunition to the opposition. "
Nevertheless, he said that it was hypocritical on the part of Palestinians and Muslim states to blow Israel up for the law given by their own Islamic theocracies
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called Israel the "most fascist and racist state" in the world and declared that "the spirit of Hitler found its resurgence" in the direction of the country.Dershowitz said that it was not necessary to state an obvious, suggesting that Israel should instead incorporate the "brilliant deceleration of Israel's independence, which speaks of equal rights for all, "as a fundamental law, for the Jewish state that has functioned without a traditional constitution since its inception in 1948.
However, the academic called for the abolition of the chief rabbinate, in Saying, "Get rabbis out of politics,"
The Chief Rabbinate of Israel oversees marriage and Judaism issues, and the Israeli parliament is made up of various religious factions that are part of the governing coalition from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
He added that the chief rabbinate should "stop attacking" unorthodox or less strict sects of Judaism, saying that there should be equal prayer sections to the Western Wall.
Egalitarian prayer on the Western Wall has long been a subject of controversy and a critical point for disputes between the ultra-Orthodox denominations of Judaism whose demands are at odds with more liberal currents.
Although Dershowitz said that he would not join the Trump team to want to remain independent, he met with the president and his special envoys from the Middle East, Jason Greenblatt and Jared Kushner, for discuss the peace plan for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
explained that Trump's administration was aimed at "putting pressure on the Palestinians to accept what would be a very good deal," explaining that the government was not going to be able to do anything. The agreement would provide a two-state solution, mandated by the UN's 1947 resolution, but which would require a demilitarized Palestinian state, leaving Gaza an open question.
"He must act from a demilitarized state." He must act from a state where Israel has some control over the borders vulnerable to ISIL or the In life, compromises are needed, but it will be a state, if there is a two-state solution, in which total sovereignty will be granted to the Palestinian people. "The Gaza issue is another question. ", said Dershowitz
" That would give them what they've always claimed to have wanted – a state statute – but I think what they've always wanted, that's it. " is that it does not have to be a nation-state for the Jewish people anywhere in the region, "he said sharply.
The outspoken jurist and commentator on Israel is expected to issue a new book on The Jewish State following its 2003 NYTimes bestseller titled "The Case of Israel."
