8 steps to peaceful two-state solution
Israeli-Palestinian-Egyptian-Jordanian security coordination is the key to any unilateral move on Israel's part.
With the current total diplomatic stalemate regarding Israel and Palestine, one can hear emanating calls from different sides of the Israeli and Palestinian political spectrums for unilateral action in order to break the status quo.
In Israel, the extreme right, headed by Education Minister Naftali Bennett (HaBayit HaYehudi), is calling for Israeli annexation of Area C of the West Bank (60% of the territory, which is under Israeli civil and security control), while granting the Palestinians civilian self-rule in the rest of the territory. On the left, one increasingly hears calls for unilateral withdrawal from most of the West Bank in order to bring about a two-state solution. Even Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke when he last visited Washington (Nov. 9) about a ''unilateral move,'' though after being attacked by his right over this declaration, he clarified that he did not refer to a unilateral withdrawal from the West Bank.
