Jerusalem: Is the two-state solution dead?


We ask Ambassador Husam Zomlot about the future of the peace process, and debate the rise of the far right in Europe.


"Jerusalem is the make it or break it"
This week US President Donald Trump formally recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, breaking with decades of US policy and disregarding warnings from the international community.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas rejected the announcement and said the US could no longer be a mediator in peace talks.
So, what effect does this have on the two-state solution?  And what does this mean for the US as a mediator between the two parties?
