Is the “Two-State Solution” Still Viable?

While attention is focused today on the assault on Israel by Iran and its proxies, the debate over the future of the Palestinian Territories continues. Is the old idea of the "two-state solution" that would create an independent, sovereign Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza still viable? If not today, would it be viable if after a delay of years the Palestinian Authority were replaced by a reorganized or reformed government? 

These were the topics of a debate late last month sponsored by Open to Debate and the Council on Foreign Relations. The participants in addition to me were Amb. Dennis Ross, Counselor and Distinguished Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and Mohammed Dajani, a scholar and peace activist, arguing "yes," and Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, former Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem, joining me in arguing "no."  The video is found here.
