For years, the United States has invested significant political capital in attempting to broker a peaceful resolution to the Israeli\u2013Palestinian conflict. However, these attempts have largely failed. Israel\u2019s occupation is more entrenched than most Americans realize, and Palestinian politics appear increasingly splintered. Many commentators and policymakers now believe a two-state solution is no longer viable. In this podcast, Khaled Elgindy identifies two main blind spots that have hobbled America\u2019s role as an effective mediator: Israeli power and Palestinian politics.\nParticipants include:\nKhaled Elgindy, nonresident fellow, Brookings Institution\nMichael Wahid Hanna, senior fellow, The Century Foundation
