The Trump Administration appears to be easing away from longstanding US support for Palestinian statehood as the preferred outcome of Middle East peace efforts, which may please some allies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel.
But the alternatives are few, and each comes with daunting and combustible complications, including for Israel itself.
