“Creation of a Palestinian state next to Israel seemed feasible when President Bill Clinton hosted the signing of the Oslo accords at the White House in September 1993. The goal was reaffirmed in 2011 when 90 percent of the Senate co-sponsored a resolution supporting ‘a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.’ But today, the two-state scenario is far-fetched to the point of delusion if not evasion. For politicians, it has become a box to check. According to data from the American Jewish Congress, every Democrat and most Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee currently say they support ‘the two-state solution.’ Whatever the rhetoric, ending Israeli control over Palestinians in the territories occupied since 1967 is not on the table.” (07/17/26)
