What if the two-state solution became a reality—not by kindness, but by pressure?
Gaza City, 2028.
The morning was different. For the first time in decades, children crossed the street not to escape bombs, but to return to newly rebuilt schools. The minarets echoed with a sense of peace—not fear. For the first time, the Palestinian flag flew without being torn down.
After nearly 80 years of occupation, siege, and systematic erasure, the world finally said “enough.” And Zionism, once the untouchable ideology behind the world’s most militarized apartheid regime, finally collapsed under its own weight.

The Collapse of the Mask
The fall didn’t come suddenly. It came from years of pressure, not from European capitals, but from nations in the global South—and from people in the streets.
In 2025, after the deadliest assault on Gaza in modern history, with over 51,000 Palestinians killed, a breaking point was reached. Protests around the globe—Karachi, Johannesburg, Jakarta, and even New York—refused to let the genocide go unseen. Civil society severed economic and cultural ties with Israel. The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement went mainstream.
"Israel's impunity ended the day the global public saw the rubble, the blood, and the silence," said Leila Hammad, a Palestinian human rights lawyer now serving in the new Ramallah government.
Netanyahu’s Fall & Zionism’s Undoing
As pressure mounted, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, long accused of war crimes and apartheid policies, was finally forced to resign in 2026 after being indicted at the International Criminal Court (ICC). His alliance with far-right extremists collapsed, and so did the myth that Israel was the “only democracy in the Middle East.”
"Zionism was never about peace—it was about power," said Dr. Farid Khan, a historian at the University of Karachi."And when that power stopped being protected by Western hypocrisy, it crumbled."

The Birth of the New Palestine
The recognition of Palestine as a full UN member state came on March 15, 2028. But it wasn’t just a piece of paper—it was backed by a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and 90% of the West Bank, enforced by international observers.
East Jerusalem was declared the capital of Palestine.
Palestinian refugees began returning under a UN-supervised repatriation plan. The apartheid wall was torn down. Israeli settlements were dismantled or handed over to Palestinian authorities. Zionism, as a state doctrine, was banned under international law—similar to how apartheid was criminalized in South Africa.

The World That Helped, and the World That Didn't
Countries like Pakistan, Turkey, Indonesia, and South Africa were at the forefront of the pressure campaign. Pakistani journalists, activists, and students played a critical role in shaping the global narrative, challenging Western media, and exposing the hypocrisy of “liberal democracies” who supported Israeli war crimes for decades.
“When the West failed, we stepped in—not with weapons, but with truth,” said Anam Rizvi, a Pakistani reporter who covered the 2025 Gaza war from Cairo.
The U.S. and some EU countries tried to delay the transition. But they lost global influence. When China and the OIC countries started building Palestine’s infrastructure, while Western powers argued about definitions of “terrorism,” the world moved on.
Gaza: A Phoenix City
Now, Gaza is rebuilding. Hospitals are functioning, schools are back, and trade is flowing. There’s still trauma, still grief—but there is also freedom.
The sounds of Israeli drones no longer haunt the skies. In their place, children fly kites—just like they used to before the skies turned red.
“We don’t want revenge,” said Youssef, a 19-year-old from Rafah.
“We just wanted to live. Now we finally can.”

Final Lines
The two-state solution was never a gift. It was forced out of a system that protected oppression too long. Zionism failed not just because of global outrage , but because truth outlasts propaganda, and human dignity outlasts tyranny.
Today, in Gaza, the olive trees are being replanted. The graves of martyrs are visited, not wept over. And in every rebuilt street, in every whisper of hope, lies the simple truth that Palestine was never a myth , it was just waiting for the world to believe again.
