“Most people thought it was going to be a two-state solution. I’m not sure a two-state solution anymore is gonna work.”

Pro-Israel Christians outraged by calls for Palestinian state recognition.

“Israel will not agree to the establishment of a terror state that will endanger its citizens.”

The US obsession with a two-state solution clearly goes against the will of the Israeli public, and certainly does not mesh with what the Palestinians want.

Polling suggests that Americans only support a two-state solution by a slim margin.
