For nearly 80 years, the world has sought to establish a Palestinian state. Every effort has failed.
Why? Because Palestinian leaders—encouraged by perverse international incentives—have repeatedly chosen grievance over compromise, anti-Semitism over coexistence, and death over life.
In his new Mosaic essay, foreign-policy expert and Tikvah's chairman Elliott Abrams argues that October 7 marked the death knell of the two-state solution. A Palestinian state will never be created. But of course, the Palestinians aren't going anywhere. So what comes next?
Abrams proposes an old, controversial idea: a confederation with Jordan. Under such an arrangement, Palestinians would manage their own affairs in Judea and Samaria, while Jordan would assume responsibility for security and foreign policy.
To discuss why he believes the two-state solution is dead—and why a Jordanian confederation may be the most realistic path forward—Abrams will join Mosaic editor Jonathan Silver on Thursday, September 18, at 12 pm ET, for a live conversation on Israel, the Palestinians, and the future of the Middle East.
