There is not much hope for a two state solution and the reason was made clear recently at the WH briefing. Reporter: Do the Palestinians have a right to self-defense? WH: All states have a right to self-defense. Reporter: Is Palestine a state? WH I am not in a position to get into the legal aspects in this news conference. So the answer is clear. Palestine is not officially a state and until it is, Palestinians are not entitled to self-defense. Knowing this, why would Israel accept a two state solution?
