The recent success of Abbas in the United Nations General Assembly – securing observer-state status for Palestine – will not alter the basic aspects of this trend. Palestine’s promotion is an alarming diplomatic defeat for Israel and a demonstration of its growing international isolation, but it does not imply a return to a two-state solution.
阿巴斯最近在联合国大会上的成功——为巴勒斯坦争得观察国地位——并不能从根本上改变这一趋势。巴勒斯坦地位的提升是以色列的外交失败，以色列将对此引起警觉；这也说明以色列在国际上越来越孤立，但这并不意味这会回到两国方案上去。
