Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Where is the violence leading? | Conflict Zone

Some of the worst violence in years has broken out between Israelis and Palestinians, prompting the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, to call on both sides to calm tensions. Blinken said a two-state solution was the only way to end the conflict.

But is a two-state solution still possible?

On Conflict Zone, DW's Tim Sebastian puts the question to Husam Zomlot, the head of the Palestinian mission to the UK, confronts him over human rights abuses by Palestinian authorities – and asks whether Palestinians still support Mahmoud Abbas as leader 18 years after he won just a four-year mandate as president.
