The United States and several Arab countries are set to present a detailed plan for definite peace between Israel and the Palestinians that involves a precise timeline for a future Palestinian state, the Washington Post reported citing US and Arab sources. According to the report, the first phase of the plan would include a six-week ceasefire, which would be used to make the plan public, start its implementation, and form an interim Palestinian government. The plan also entails the evacuation of many Israeli settlements from the West Bank, the recognition of East Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state, and combined security and governments for the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. The sources said Israel is expected to oppose the plan, but the idea is to persuade the Israeli authorities by offering them security guarantees and the normalization of relations with Arab countries, especially Saudi Arabia. NN: This 2 state diabolical is not going to happen anytime soon. its a matter of carrots and sticks. The game is to force Israel to back down and get some kind of peace deal and hostage for terrorists exchange. This will ratchet down the attacks and let the powerful shipping companies transverse the straights again. And it will take $10 off the price of oil. And the slowing global economy coupled with recording breaking US production is good for another $10.. Yes Brent in the sixties. It will take some time. But we play a patient mans game.
