United States Secretary of Defense - James Mattis--remarkably failed to mention "the two-state solution", or even the "Palestinian-Israeli conflict" in his keynote address--"US Policy in a Changing Middle East"--delivered at the International Institute for Strategic Affairs 14th Regional Security Summit in Manama, Bahrein held between 26-28 October.
Mattis' pointed omissions can only fuel speculation that a "one-state solution"--possibly involving the creation of a Jordan enclave in the West Bank - could now be uppermost in President Trump's thinking.
