Try to understand the relationship between Israel and the Palestinians. Any Palestinian state will be deeply dependent on Israel as the Palestinian people are very much a part of the Israeli economy. On the other hand, they would be two separate states. So, to what extent does a resolved situation, that is, peace, make a separate state part of a unified situation?
Briefly Address the following questions:
- What is the history (ancient and modern) of this land that explains the current dispute between the Palestinians and Israelis?
- What are the challenges facing its resolution?
- What recommendations would you offer to advance that outcome?
- What do you think will be the outcome of the next peace talks? Why?
