...Palestinians, it is far from clear that it is being abandoned in favor of a non-ethnic “State of all its citizens” rather than a national Palestinian State in all of Mandatory Palestine. (And the same could be said, conversely, and with even more force, about the decline in support for two states among Jewish Israelis.)
