Article by Nathan J. Brown explores the decline of Palestinian hopes for achieving independent statehood due to shifting global priorities, expanding Israeli settlements, and weak international enforcement of peace efforts. It argues that peace talks have often served to maintain the status quo rather than produce tangible outcomes for Palestinians. The article also highlights internal political divisions, economic dependency, and the failure of global powers to hold Israel accountable, all contributing to the diminishing prospects for a viable two-state solution. This source is valuable for research on Palestinian statehood, two-state solution, international accountability, and Palestinian self-determination.
