Is the Palestinian national struggle lost?

Description

Palestinians today seem stuck . Their struggle for statehood led nowhere. If anyone maintained hope that a two-state solution could actually materialize, the latest Israeli election results disabuse them from that notion. Palestinian President is 87 and there is no mechanism to ensure democratic or smooth transition after him. The division between Fateh and Hamas is deep and all attempts to reconcile them have failed. 

Is the Palestinian national dream disintegrating? and what would it leave behind? 

I invited Omar Dajani to help me make sense of all that. He is a professor of law at the University of the Pacific, a former adviser to the Palestinian negotiating team, and to the UN Envoy to the Middle East.
