Washington Post:
Israel is of more strategic importance to the Arabs' own security in the war with Iran than the Palestinians would ever be. The US should make clear to the Palestinians that they are letting the opportunity for a state slip away by their own intransigence.

The Palestinians have worn out their support from most Arab countries who have bigger worries than worrying about this band of beggars.
The White House’s pushback on new or expanded settlements in the West Bank signals that the new administration will seek some continuity with past presidents.
