The Ultimate Deal or the End of the Line?
Trump and the Search for Middle East Peace, Daniel Kurtzer

The Trump administration’s plans to achieve the “ultimate peace deal” between Israelis and Palestinians has run aground, following Trump’s announcement on Jerusalem and the reactions of the Palestinian leadership. Has the two-state solution come to an end? If not, what can the United States do in the period ahead?

Daniel C. Kurtzer is the S. Daniel Abraham Professor of Middle East policy studies at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Following a 29-year career in the U.S. Foreign Service, Kurtzer retired in 2005 with the rank of Career-Minister. From 2001-2005 he served as the United States Ambassador to Israel and from 1997-2001 as the United States Ambassador to Egypt.
