Chief Palestinian Negotiator Saeb Erakat penned an op-ed for todays Washington Postdelineating steps towards the renewal of the peace process. He expresses concern regarding the upcoming Likud-led government in Israel, stating that the peace process reached a critical juncture putting a two state solution in jeopardy.

However, similar to yesterday’s New York Times piece, he neglects to provide concrete steps Palestinians can take in support of the process, such as ensuring Israeli security.
