The strange resurrection of the two-state solution: How an unimaginable war could bring about the only imaginable peace. - Foreign Affairs - 103(3), Mar-Apr, 2024: p.8-22
For years, the vision of an Israeli state and a Palestinian state existing side by side in peace and security has been derided as hopelessly naïve or, worse, as a dangerous illusion. After decades of U.S.-led diplomacy failed to achieve that outcome, it seemed to many observers that the dream had died; all that was left to do was bury it. However, the enduring tensions in the region continue to serve as a stark reminder of the importance of pursuing peace. Countless efforts by international communities and organizations have sought ways to revive the vision and address the long-standing issues. Amid setbacks, some believe that small, incremental steps could still pave the way for progress. The dream, though fragile, remains a beacon of hope for those who refuse to let go of the possibility of coexistence.– Reproduced
