Dershowitz: Trump's "One-State" Comment a Ploy to Pressure Palestinians

(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - President Trump's bombshell mention of the possibility of a one-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was a tactic to pressure the Palestinians to accept a deal on two states, Alan Dershowitz told the Jerusalem Post on Thursday. He explained that Trump's message for the Palestinians was: "Don't count on the UN, the International Criminal Court, the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign, the EU or the Russians - if you want a two-state solution...negotiate it in Ramallah or Jerusalem." This is a "shift from the Obama administration, which only pressured Israel and never pressured the Palestinians."
