Sharing the Middle East

Sharing the Middle East

David Naggar
0/5 ( ratings)
Equitably sharing the Middle East between Arabs and Jews was once embraced by the world. The international consensus solution, two States—one Israeli, one Palestinian—within the confines of Israel, Gaza and the West Bank—is based on fatally flawed assumptions. Even if two such States could be delineated by fiat, doing so would not produce a lasting peace. It would endanger the lives of some, and ruin the lives of many—Palestinians and Israelis alike. The overarching Arab/Muslim-Israeli conflict has been simplified to the point where only Palestinian statelessness and Israel’s security needs are discussed. Palestinian Arab needs are not being met, and Israel’s need to be viable has not been considered by the international community since 1920, when multiple Arab States took root, and the much larger original borders of what was to become British Mandate Palestine—a homeland for the Jews—were agreed upon. A new approach to solving this conflict is needed. Fairly sharing the Middle East will not only serve the interests of peace in the long run, but will also greatly benefit humanity otherwise.
