There is a lot to talk about. As example, the whole issue about many migrants arriving, in particular from Russia, and part of seeking to push everyone else out, in the name of “ancestral right”. All while it is not unheard of, that there are converts to Judaism, what makes them Jewish, but not necessarily so with ancestors going back thousands of years from that region (like, no Hebrew ancestors).
Similarly, just because someone is Muslim or Christian, doesn’t mean, that an ancestor of theirs didn’t convert – meaning that their Grandgrandgrand..father may have been from that region, and even Jewish.
And language spoken in family, can change quite quickly – like the descendants of migrants from Russia, they do not all speak Russian, do they? Let alone over centuries, as can be observed with the extinction of the Old Prussian language, due to them crusader migrants etc. making German the language of everyday use. And in case of related languages, such as with semitic languages going from Aramaic to Hebrew and Arab languages – it’s like an Italian speaker catching up quicker in France, than a German speaker does.
To many people, these issues may not be as relevant as simply: “Who has the upper hand, in terms of martial rule.” – But I think we can do better than developing some Machiavellian plans, like putting a sniper in Gibraltar and one in Sinai, which makes the entire U.S. Navy apparently go: “Ohh, nooo! There is no safe passage.”, impeding weapon deliveries to Israel, and pushing for their surrender, on the grounds, that the new overlord (for the time being) has a security policy for the protection of Israel, that unlike the current government’s policy, doesn’t rely on good will by persons such as Mr Hegseth, who has been quite open about not liking diversity, and so on.
Thus, if we talk about other plans, specifically, to make every country a liveable country, in regard to Israel and Palestine, my suggestion is very simple: A north-south border.
To the north, Israel, where the Hebrew nation has its Jewish state.
And to the south, like Palestine, or Judah. Ideally, if Egypt would consider to cede part of Sinai, for this state south, that would help to have more land, to build on, also for the diaspora. Such large scale constructions, of like a few towns, would require international assistance – but looking at profits of companies in the U.S., of some $4 trillion a year, and looking at what is all spent on weapons, such as in this conflict, it seems to me, that with a bit of good will, it would go a long way for millions of people and also the entire region.
At this point I need to mention another idea of mine, that is an “neighbourhood assembly” of representatives of all nationalities living in Berlin (or Prussia respectively). And in the assembly, there would be someone representing a number of Palestinians. And with them, there is stuff to talk about, such as whether the new state wants to use a penal system like we use it here, or to begin with, whether there is a need for scholarships, for more qualifications among Palestinians. Likewise, medical services. And so on, where things need to be done properly.
Nevertheless, what I would suggest is a treaty between the two states, about clear border, with possible provision, such as that citizens from the north can anytime visit Hebron (where the tomb of Abraham is at), and citizens from the south can anytime visit Jerusalem, regardless of other restrictions that may apply at a time, like visum requirement. And also a clause about that i.e. the southern state carries responsibility, for not anyone firing rockets from its territory just because they felt like it, and so on – pretty much making it clear, that the southern state is no threat.
And then there is also economics. But when traders and investors do not have a reason to be afraid, of being shot by some random bullet for just taking a look, some business is likely to flow, and also regard to issues such as railroad connection i.e. to Cairo.
