Global Commentary and Think-Tank Analysis (Best of U.S., UK, and Israel):
Abbas vs. Obama - Steven J. Rosen
Having sidelined Barack Obama's peace initiative by refusing to return to the negotiations table without a priori Israeli concessions, the Palestinian leadership seeks to secure an international declaration of statehood at the next UN General Assembly session in September 2011. This "date certain" strategy, whereby its entitlement to a state will be fulfilled by the world powers, has long been preferred by the Palestinian leadership to any arduous, bilateral negotiation with Israel, which would require painful concessions.
If Obama does veto a statehood resolution that has wide international support, he will be under pressure to offset this with fresh gestures toward the Palestinians. Obama's dilemma is that, either way, the refusal to negotiate will be rewarded. And negotiation of the issues between the Palestinians and the Israelis will still be nowhere in sight. The writer served for 23 years as a senior official of AIPAC. (Middle East Quarterly)

The Palestinians Don't Want a State - Sever Plocker

Observations:

U.S. Shift to Mideast Crisis Management - Robert Danin (Council on Foreign Relations)
Senator George Mitchell's resignation as the Obama administration's Middle East envoy makes formal what was clear for some time - the president's goal of an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement by September is unattainable and negotiations are not about to resume any time soon.
With unrest and violence raging throughout the Middle East, Palestinians focused domestically on a Fatah-Hamas unity deal, and efforts afoot to gain full membership for Palestine as a state at the United Nations in September, the president's stated goal of a peace treaty by September 2011 is well beyond the horizon.
Now, Washington faces the looming challenges of a Palestinian government that it may not be able to talk to and a potential diplomatic crisis in September that could spark renewed violence on the ground.
