The various regional actors who galvanized past protests have lost much of their legitimacy in recent years.

Saudi Arabia's rulers have lots of worries, but Trump's announcement about the holy city isn't one of them.

The president's statement does not, in fact, concede Palestinian rights and claims, but he must now make this clear to avoid empowering rejectionists.

The challenge for the president is clear: acknowledge the de facto reality, but don't take a position on the city's final status.

It isn't too late for a two-state peace process, and bringing the land into focus proves it.

The lack of armed response by Hamas or PIJ highlights the host of military and political factors restraining both organizations and the potency of new Israeli defense technologies, though radical elements may still decide to risk an attack out of desperation.

The Cairo-brokered understandings can help Gaza, but their success should be judged by how Hamas and Fatah practically approach key issues, not by what they say.
