Podcast: A Palestinian-Israeli Grand Bargain is Off (For Now)

A conversation led by Henry Siegman, president of the U.S./Middle East Project, on how current events in North Africa and the Middle East will impact the Israeli-Palestinian peace effort.

There is also a discussion of the recent U.S. veto of the United Nations resolution on Israel, which closely conformed to President Obama's policy on Israeli settlements in disputed territory. The U.S. stood alone on the Security Council with this veto.

An unfortunate likely consequence of a further delay in advancing Israeli-Palestinian negotiations is more violence.

Henry Siegman is president of the U.S./Middle East Project, an initiative focused on U.S.-Middle East policy and the Israel-Palestine conflict, launched by the Council on Foreign Relations in 1994. The organization was established as an independent policy institute in 2006 under the chairmanship of General Brent Scowcroft.
