In case anyone had any doubts about Netanyahu's utter disdain for a two-state solution, his government is actively ramping up the Jewish population in non-democratic Israel:
[T]he Ministry of Housing, on its Web site, invited bids for plots for the construction of more than 800 apartments in Har Homa, a Jewish development across the 1967 lines in southeast Jerusalem, and in Givat Zeev, a settlement north of Jerusalem in the West Bank. “The principle that has guided me is to strengthen Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday, using the biblical names for the West Bank. … He said he also intended, together with the defense minister, to seek the necessary permits to retroactively legalize three other West Bank settler outposts that went up without authorization.
And yet Netanyahu also says that "we do everything according to the law." How does retroactively legalizing illegal settlements uphold the law? What it does is encourage more radical Jewish settlers to move into non-democratic Israel, in the knowledge that they may eventually be legalized. This is a facts-on-the-ground annexation. There are now an estimated 600,000 Israelis living on occupied territory, ten percent of Greater Israel's population.
Increasingly, it seems to me the window is over for a two-state solution in Greater Israel. Ethnic social engineering can work if you have enough brute power.
