I apologize for the lack of a visual map in my discussion.However, I can provide you with a more detailed description of the hypothetical two-state solution:
Israel:
- Would occupy the majority of the land area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, including the Negev Desert, the Galilee region, and the central coastal plain.
- Would encompass major Israeli cities like Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem (West Jerusalem), and Beersheba.
- Would incorporate major Jewish settlement blocs like Gush Etzion and Ma’ale Adumim.
Palestine:
- Would encompass the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem (Old City).
- Would include major Palestinian cities like Ramallah, Nablus, Hebron, and Gaza City.
- Would encompass some areas with a significant Palestinian population currently under Israeli control, such as Area C in the West Bank.
Border Considerations:
- The borders would follow the 1967 lines with some modifications to account for major settlement blocs and population centers.
- Jerusalem would be shared as a capital city for both Israel and Palestine.
- There would be land swaps to ensure that each state has contiguity and a viable economy.
- Secure passage between the two states would be guaranteed.
Security Arrangements:
- Both states would demilitarize and establish security forces to maintain order. HAMAS must Demilitarize. Israel must NOT because it is always under threat.
- There would be international oversight of security arrangements to prevent violations. UN TROOPS in Palestine.
- A mechanism would be established for resolving disputes peacefully.
Economic Cooperation:
- Both states would cooperate on economic development, including trade, infrastructure, and tourism.
- International assistance would be provided to support the Palestinian economy.
- A regional economic plan would be developed to promote prosperity for all.
Refugee Return:
- The right of return for Palestinian refugees would be addressed through a combination of repatriation, resettlement, and compensation.
- An international mechanism would be established to manage the return process.
Implementation:
- A comprehensive peace agreement would be negotiated and signed by both Israel and Palestine.
- A phased implementation plan would be put in place to ensure the orderly transition to a two-state solution.
- International support would be essential for the successful implementation of the agreement.
It is important to note that this is just one hypothetical scenario, and there are numerous other proposals that have been put forward. The final borders of a two-state solution would need to be negotiated and agreed upon by both parties.
Ignoring what was done in 1948 does not give Israel the Right to go on an all out Killing Spree of Civilians Today.
Israel must destroy the Hamas Tunnels. HAMAS must Disband. HAMAS MUST HAND OVER ALL WEAPONS.
ONCE this is Done, Israel cannot go on another LAND GRAB of Palestinian Land. Israel has to end the reasons why Hamas has grown to what it is Today. Yes, Israel is guilty in all of this too. The Killing must End.
HAMAS MUST SURRENDER!
