Ir Amim board member Alon Liel writes: “The recent U.S. condemnation [of Israeli settlement expansion] is anything but overstated; it is an indication of mounting global concern over the imminent extinction of the two state solution. In the next six months, until January 20, 2017, the window for saving it remains open, albeit narrowly.” Liel uses Ir Amim’s “Greater Jerusalem 2016” map to show how Israeli settlement building undermines the territorial contiguity required to build an independent sovereign Palestinian state.
