From the start, religious nationalists among both Israelis and Palestinians believed their respective governments did not have the right to cede any part of the Holy Land. Attacks from extremist Jewish Israelis, most notably Baruch Goldstein’s attack on Muslims in Hebron and the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, and from Hamas, which began a campaign of suicide bombings, led some Israelis to doubt that a two-state solution would actually bring peace. When Benjamin Netanyahu was elected prime minister in 1996, he sought to negotiate stricter terms for the two-state solution that would tie its implementation to a reduction in violence.
