Since the 1960s, the US foreign policy has been characterized by relative stability in interaction with the dynamics of the Palestinian conflict. Well-established American institutions, legal, constitutional and political restrictions, and various groups of interests and pressure, especially the Jewish lobby, research centers, media, and American public opinion, which mostly support the Israeli point of view, are the important factors in developing and defining the foreign policy of the United States. One more factor relates to international and regional shifts. As the Palestinian-Israeli conflict was going on, and since the signing of the Oslo Accords in the early 1990s, the first issue among the priorities of successive US administrations in the Middle East until regional developments imposed other priorities as a result of the events of September 2001, and the subsequent occupation of Iraq in 2003. The emergence of Al Qaeda, the turmoil of the Middle East region and the disturbance of its political, social and religious structure coincided with the emergence of the so-called Arab revolutions of 2011 and extremist jihadist organizations such as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. Therefore, the role of Trump administration was determined by developments within the US on the one hand, and by the interaction of events in the Middle East region on the other hand.

Исследование посвящено анализу предложенного Вашингтоном в 2020 году плана урегулирования длящегося уже более 70 лет палестино-израильского конфликта. В основе плана лежит взаимное признание двух государств. Территорию Палестины, состоящую из сектора Газа и Западного берега реки Иордан, предлагается неразрывно связать транспортным сообщением и таким образом, по словам Трампа, территория арабского государства должна увеличиться вдвое. В то же время США намерены признать законными еврейские поселения на оккупированных палестинских землях на Западном берегу реки Иордан, то есть таким образом признать за Израилем земли, захваченные им после 1967 года. Автор рассматривает позиции конфликтующих сторон, их реакцию на документ, мнение мирового сообщества о «сделке века», а также перспективы урегулирования конфликта.
