As long as the matter remain effectively un resolved by peaceful negotiated means, what remains?
Perhaps an intellectual Giant like David has the answer? A final solution perhaps, but one aimed exclusively at the palestinians, who also are the sons and daughters of Abraham. And so attested by their DNA!
Netanyahu will always find a reason to avoid a two state solution! i.e., that this or that terrorist organisation doesn't accept Israel's right to exist? So? How does a negotiated two state solution alter that?
King of Jordan can't speak for or be held responsible for the terrorists, neither can King Tutt, the Queen of England or the President of the USA!
Some pedantic, circular thinking, legal eagle will say Netanyahu's land grab is legal, because it has the unanimous backing of the Israeli court system?
The same spoils of war argument for a similar outcome in Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland could have been made by those who annexed those territories or again when Putin claimed the Crimea!? As long as Israel has a tame Trump in its corner and in lockstep with Netanyahu, this matter will remain un resolved!
Me, I would offer several walk away safe molten salt thorium power stations (cheapest power on earth) coupled to several space age desalination plants that turned all the arid desert regions in both nations into veritable gardens of eden without draining any of the contested inland river systems, but rather the very opposite.
At the end of the day both nations are prospered by a quite massive increase in arable land and assured water! And equally advantaged by the 24/7 availability of virtually endless ultra cheap ultra reliable power and the massively increased productive capacities that would bring to them both for at least a thousand years! And effectively end any perceived, real need to annex an other nation's sovereign territory!
