U.S. President Joe Biden intends to visit Israel and the Palestinian Authority next month, in a show of support for their governments and for an internationally aspired two-state solution. However, the fragility of the Israeli ruling coalition, which is hanging by a thread, prevents any substantive progress on the Israel-Palestinian file – at a time when alternate arenas are seemingly prioritized over the decades old conflict.

Danny Ayalon, Co-host TV7 Middle East Review, Powers-in-Play Panelist, Former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. and DMoFA, Dan Diker, Senior Fellow, Project Director of Political Warfare and Foreign Policy, Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, and Amir Oren, TV7 Editor at Large, Host of TV7 Watchmen Talk & Powers in Play.
