Read this article about PM Naftali Bennett's recent comments regarding a Palestinian state, published in Daily Sabah. It's worth the read because Bennett made it clear that he opposes a Palestinian
state and that it will not come to fruition while he is Prime Minister.
As reported in Haaretz, US President Biden addressed the UN General Assembly earlier this month remarking that the Two-State Solution is a "long way" away. It's important because Biden has been distancing himself from
pressuring Israel to move forward with the peace process.
Check out this article in La Prensa Latina about Israeli FM Yair Lapid's recent comment that the Two-State Solution is currently unfeasible. It's a big deal because Lapid is a centrist politician and his comment reflects the shifting of the Israeli
political spectrum to the right.
Read this article in JPost about PA President Mahmoud Abbas' recent "threat" that Israel is destroying the prospect of a Two-State Solution, causing the inevitable imposition of a One-State Solution. It's worth the read because it's clear Abbas is
beginning to internalize the fact that a Two-State Solution is impossible.
Check out this survey by Foreign Affairs, written about on Mondoweiss, asking about the likelihood of a Two-State Solution. The survey is fascinating because Palestinian/Arab experts largely do not believe a Palestinian state will
ever emerge, whereas experts who are traditionally labeled as "pro-Israel" still believe a Two-State Solution is possible.
Check out this survey by the Middle East Scholar Barometer, written about in the Washington Post, asking about the likelihood of a Two-State Solution. We think you'd like the article because it overviews several results of the survey,
which included 557 scholars, 57% of whom say the Two-State Solution is no longer possible.

Happy reading!
