Former IDF Chief of Staff Major-General Moshe Ya'alon said Monday the "two-state solution" championed by the Bush administration and pushed by the entire western world is "irrelevant" and will not bring peace and stability to the Middle East.

Ya'alon, who was removed from his position in 2005 because he would not support uprooting Gaza's Jews, said "assuming that the problem between Israel and the Arabs is the 'occupation' and that surrendering the area to establish a Palestinian state will solve the problem are mistakes" that prevented new ideas to resolve the conflict being put forward.

He was speaking at the prestigious Herzliya Conference.
