President Obama: Recognise a Palestinian state
In weeks, Donald Trump will kill the Middle East peace process.

He’s been clear about it. He doesn’t think Palestinians have the right to a country, he supports illegal settlement building and wants to move the US embassy from the capital in Tel Aviv to disputed land.

It’s a diplomatic bomb that will destroy any hope of a negotiated solution. We have one chance to stop him.

President Obama is laying out a plan for a two-state solution, Israel and Palestine living side-by-side in peace. It’s what most Israelis and Palestinians want. But a key way for him to protect the path to peace is by recognising a Palestinian state before Trump takes office. The plan is already on his desk -- but he needs to have the political support of the world to act. Let’s give it to him. When we reach 1 million, Israeli and Palestinian youth will deliver it to the White House.
