Great article by Charles Krauthammer.

The quixotic American pursuit of Middle East peace is a perennial. It invariably fails, yet every administration feels compelled to give it a try. The Trump administration is no different.

It will fail as well. To be sure, no great harm has, as yet, come from President Trump's enthusiasm for what would be "the ultimate deal." It will, however, distract and detract from remarkable progress being made elsewhere in the Middle East.

"Whom the gods would destroy, they first tempt to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict." (Irving Kristol)

That progress began with Trump's trip to Saudi Arabia, the first of his presidency – an unmistakable declaration of a radical reorientation of U.S. policy in the region. Message: The appeasement of Iran is over.

yep..1 state 2 state..none of it matters. There is no desire for a peace settlement there.
Hopefully it will be a sideshow.like Kerry practiced under Obama,and not distract too much

The point he makes about the Palestinians is spot on, they are hopelessly disunited and weak.

Charles Krauthammer is correct. And, yes the entire area always has and will be fighting somebody outside of their borders or inside amongst themselves. I feel that Israel will always have Jews, Christians and Palestinians living there with variable degrees of love and hate.


"Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf states publicly declaring war on their bastard terrorist child (Iran) is significant. As is their pledge not to tolerate any semiofficial support or private donations. And their opening during the summit of an anti-terrorism center in Riyadh."
Very significant.
