President Mahmoud Abbas summed it up recently when he said that Palestinians could demand no less than the United States on settlements.
The biggest obstacle to Middle East peace is Israel's expansion of Jewish settlements and Palestinian occupied territories.
The two-State solution, i.e., the State of Palestine coexisting alongside the State of Israel, represents the spirit and essence of the historic compromise embodied in the Oslo Declaration of Principles.
