''The New York Review of Books'' described Thrall as having "published a series of articles over recent years—notably in ''The New York Times Magazine'', ''The Guardian'', and the ''London Review of Books''—that have defined the new intellectual and political parameters for what is increasingly recognized as Israel-Palestine's one-state (or post-two-state) reality," and the ''Financial Times'' called him "one of the best-informed and most trenchant observers of the conflict."

Critical reception

The Only Language They Understand

Thrall's critically acclaimed essay collection ''The Only Language They Understand: Forcing Compromise in Israel and Palestine'' (Metropolitan/Henry Holt, 2017; Picador, 2018) was hailed in ''The New York Times'' ("a brilliant job...smart and hard to dispute"), ''Foreign Affairs'' ("Thrall has consistently been one of the sharpest observers of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict"), ''Time'' ("Life is short, and writings about Israel and the Palestinians can be very, very long. So it's a good thing there's Nathan Thrall"), and ''The New York Review of Books'' ("By far the most cogent of the new books n Israel–Palestine). The

described the book as "brilliant," writing, "Eloquent, fact-rich, full of vivid characters, and relentlessly contemporary in its narrative, ''The Only Language They Understand'' is a withering indictment of conventional wisdom―and a necessary, essential book."

Trump's Middle East Plan

Donald Trump Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American politician, media personality, and businessman who served as the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021. Trump graduated from the Wharton School of the University of P ...

It's the natural culmination of decades of American policy." Trump's Special Envoy for International Negotiations,

, criticized Thrall's op-ed: "A 1-sided, distorted analysis. The ideas are dangerous to an important ally, based on an approach that has driven Palestinians (who deserve a better future) into a ditch. Time to embrace reality, seek a brighter future & stop being an arm-chair critic." Thrall replied: "Refreshing to see that only days after releasing the Trump plan, one of its chief architects, @GreenblattJD, has come around to opposing approaches that are 1-sided, distorted, dangerous to US allies, & designed to drive Palestinians (who deserve better) into a ditch."

The Separate Regimes Delusion

In January 2021, the ''London Review of Books'' published Thrall's article, "The Separate Regimes Delusion," which argued, "The premise that Israel is a democracy, maintained by Peace Now,

A Day in the Life of Abed Salama

In March 2021, ''The New York Review of Books'' published Thrall's piece, "A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: One man's quest to find his son lays bare the reality of Palestinian life under Israeli rule," together with an animated trailer. The article was covered in ''The Washington Post'', ''Foreign Policy'', ''The American Prospect'', ''Jewish Currents'', European publications, the Israeli newspaper ''Haaretz'', a podcast episode hosted by ''New York Times'' columnist
