History and Politics of the Two-State Solution

This chapter explores the historical context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, tracing the roots from the 1947 UN partition vote to current challenges in establishing a two-state solution. It highlights the evolution of U.S. foreign policy, particularly under successive administrations, and examines the contrasting stances on the two-state solution, especially during Trump's presidency. The discussion addresses the impact of U.S. actions on Palestinian aspirations and the feasibility of peace negotiations amid ongoing conflict and territorial disputes.
