Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu won re-election in March 2015 thanks to a last minute pledge that the Palestinians would never get a state so long as he was in power. After the election, he tried to walk this back but the Palestinians aren’t buying it. The one state/two state options will determine the Palestinians fate as a people; so will it that of the Israelis. The arguments are full of pros and cons.
Dan Kurtzer is a long time Middle East hand and close adviser to American presidents, Bill Clinton and Barak Obama. He has served as American Ambassador to Egypt and Israel. He currently holds a chair in Middle East Policy at the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University where he remains active in the formulation of American policy.
