The likeliest outcome of the current flurry of diplomacy will be a fudge, which both sides will present as the “best result possible.” There will be another roadmap to final two-state status, with some timetable for Palestinian statehood, conditional on Hamas’s renunciation of violence.
当前外交风暴最有可能的结果是顽固不化，双方都将此作为“最好结果的可能”。将出现新的两国地位最终路线图，巴勒斯坦建国将有时间表，条件是哈马斯放弃暴力。以色列将宣布它实际上一点让步也没有做出；阿巴斯的法塔赫将宣布找到了一条笃定的黄金之路。而和平进程将蹒跚向前——“进程”多于“和平”——直到遇上下一个路障。
