On Monday, 12th May, US President Donald Trump is due to arrive in Saudi Arabia for meetings with it and other Gulf States. His visit to the Middle East will also have him in Qatar and Abu Dhabi in the UAE.

This is a momentous time because the future of Israel/Palestine will be decided as the process towards normalization progresses.

Jeff unpacks Trump's vision of normalization and the two-state solution. However, this solution is a trap for the Palestinians who are being excluded from the discussions. Jeff predicts that the result will be Palestinians locked into a situation of two-state apartheid.

He asks if anyone is taking notice of the map and studying the details because organisations, and even Palestinians, are not picking up on the political implications of what is happening.
