Senator Chuck Schumer's Address on Israeli-Palestinian Peace and Two-State Solution

With the prospect of a real two state solution on the table and for the first time, genuine statehood for the Palestinian people, I believe they will be far more likely to support more mainstream leaders committed to peace.
