The World Sees Hope for a Two-State Solution. Israelis and Palestinians See None.
(Wall Street Journal) Anat Peled - The expected recognition of a Palestinian state by France, the UK and several other Western countries is part of an effort to breathe life into a dying solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: two states living side by side. On the ground, the two-state solution is more remote than ever. Polls, which in the 1990s and early 2000s consistently indicated majority support on both sides for two states, have in recent years shown that only a minority of Israelis and Palestinians support the idea - or think it is feasible in practice. Few Israelis or Palestinians think international announcements will do much to change that trajectory.
