tomer ,   jerusalem   (02.17.17)
the president stated one thing, his UN ambassador stated 2 state solution is the only option,other officials stated the same.
So ,who is deciding in US administration what it will be? What we have to make of this "balagan"???
Does USA stand now for: "UTTER SENSELESS ADMINISTRATION"?
2. "international diplomacy for two decades"
C   (02.18.17)
"two decades" is a little drop in the ocean of middle east history.

after the terrible attacks on america by the islamic terrorists,
rather than being humble, the saudis forced president george w.
bush to push for a two state solution.
the response of ariel sharon, then pm of israel, was to state
publicly that israel is not czekoslovakia, meaning she will not
be sold out or dismembered.
3. Israel should be one State with the Palestinians in Israel

and Gaza escorted to the Sinai Peninsula that Egyptian President Al Sisi has so graciously offered to the Palestinians as a homeland.
4. Different meanings indeed!

"So I'm looking at two-state and one-state, and I like the one that both parties like," Trump said with an almost offhand air, emphasizing that for him the main aim was "to see a deal.I think the writer has misunderstood President Trumps statement want Mr. Trump is actually saying is either one or the other. The era of the status quo is over. This issue has been on the world agenda far to long.
Push has now turned to shove. The one thing that the writer did get right is "for him the main aim was "to see a deal.Its time for Israel to write a constitution, and change its system of elections and government. This is what should be negotiated with the Palestinians.
