Jimmy Carter to Obama: Before you leave office, recognize Palestinian state

quote [ " Carter wrote. "The simple but vital step this administration must take before its term expires on Jan. 20 is to grant American diplomatic recognition to the state of Palestine."

The former President also called for the UN Security Council to pass a resolution "laying out the parameters for resolving the conflict." ]

This might be necessary to keep Bibi and Trump from starting another war. It will damn sure be necessary if we still care about a two state solution.

Carter's NY Times op-ed, from November 29th. Maybe this is where the link should go instead of the brief summary from Democracy Now.
It's a nice idea, but even with Obama's last minute jabbing at Netanyahu over the settlements the two-state solution is pretty much dead in the water.
