Obama, Israel-Palestine, and the UN
The Obama Administration must shift focus from restarting negotiations to restoring the

Israeli-Palestinian two-state resolution to the United Nations Security Council, or by working with other UNSC
members in support of such a resolution or some similar initiative.
