Israel and Palestine in the shadow of the election: What do Americans want Obama and Trump to do?

The Center for Middle East Policy at Brookings will release the results of new public opinion polls by Dr. Shibley Telhami focusing on American attitudes towards Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Findings from two polls - one taken just before the election, and one just after - set the stage for both Obama and Trump in weighing their approach to the conflict.
