“Following the election President Obama may…foolishly send the Israel-Palestine conflict to the United Nations. This would mean the end of the peace process, because the Palestinians would be disincentivised from entering into the kinds of direct negotiations without preconditions that the Israeli government continues to offer, and that is the only realistic road to peace.” (Alan Dershowitz writing in the Jerusalem Post on the consequence of UN involvement in the peace process, 07/11/2016)
