Dr. Anne Irfan: Two-state solution is dead

Transcript

00:00I mean, we were speaking yesterday to a former U.S.-Middle East negotiator, Aaron David Miller,

00:07who said to us that the two-state solution had been on life support for 20 years and

00:13that President Trump might preside over its burial.

00:17What do you make of that?

00:18Do you think that's the case?

00:21I think anyone who's been paying attention knows that the two-state solution, quote-unquote,

00:26died long ago, starting with the fact that from the very beginning of the Oslo process,

00:32Israel continued to build settlements and to take more land, while claiming it was working

00:37towards a two-state solution.

00:38There has not been a viable two-state solution for many years now.

00:41There is a one-state reality with an apartheid system that is widely recognized, not only

00:47by internationally, but actually increasingly within Israel itself, and it's only really

00:52been a farcical illusion by certain Western leaders to claim that the two-state solution

01:00has existed at all.
