A third possibility, which was described as being a certain possibility too, is American support for a*UN Security Council*resolution on the Israeli-Palestinian issue.
Some of Obama's advisers, as well as senior officials at the State Department in Washington, believe that the American president's legacy on the Israeli-Palestinian issue should be a Security Council resolution that would determine principles for the end of the conflict.
Such a resolution would replace the Security Council's Resolution 242 from 1967 and Resolution 338 from 1973.*It would serve as a new source of authority for the peace process, secure and preserve the two-state solution, and make it clear to the Israelis and Palestinians what concessions they would have to make if they one day decide to renew the peace process.

Aren't you mystified that the US hasn't backed such a resolution before ?
