While analyzing the status of reconciliation and national unity in Palestine, she said:
“Ceasefires cannot precede reconciliation. For any viable solution to succeed, it cannot be purely economic or humanitarian; it is essentially a political solution that should be based on legality, morality and rights”.
Dr. Hanan Ashrawi said that the Palestinian side does not rely on the statements of US President Donald Trump on the two-state solution "because they have no real commitment to achieve this."

Ashrawi also discussed the United States administration’s disastrous and unilateral moves which have emboldened Israel to persistently violate international law and destroy the chances for a just peace and stability.
She concluded,
“The United States’ blanket support of Israel and its complicit role in the belligerent military occupation have generated conditions for great volatility and instability throughout the region and beyond.”
