In this Plan nobody in the region gets away scott free. Everyone has to contribute something and be vested in a positive outcome.How can you have a functioning country that is physically divided into two parts? (Hawaii doesn't count)
My plan involves Syria, Egypt, Jordon and Lebanon all giving up small portions of land. Heck, they already have the Palestinians to go with it.
Both new countries need access to Jerusalem and the Mediterranean. The only way to do this is to have one in the north and one in the south.
This involves the entire Gaza strip falling into Israel and large parts of northern Israel falling into Palestinian hands. This is why it is important that no person should be forced to move. Give 1.5 million Gazans the opportunity to become Israelis and a lot will take it. The Israelis will treat them better because they can now vote. Give the Palestinians authority over northern Israel and some Jews might stay. The Palestinians could certainly use the tax dollars. The point is that anyone can move if they want and anyone can stay.
Israel of course would have to stop it's open to all Jews immigration policy. That is unsustainable. The settlers in the west bank can stay but if they do they must live under Palestinian rule.

hi Bob
Frankly I do think there have been greater (Zionist and capitalist) forces at work which manipulate the world for their own ends.
Your idea is therefore unlikely to be accepted.
However, it has appealed to me as the only one I have heard so far that has some degree of justice and fairness to all parties (with some generosity from Egypt, Jordan and SA).
Can I put this on my blog with all due credit to you?
You face a small BIG problem.
Who gets Temple Mount?
I don't think either the Jews or Palastinians would relenquish it, or settle for an international body governing it.
Hence, your whole proposal has just gone down the bin. 99% of the fight is centered around religion - hence, who controls Temple Mount.
Christians, muslims, Jews, Druze and others lived together in that land, so why not there shuld be established that all of them live together?
They can tag team the temple mount.
