Three-State Solution Ought to be Considered

John R. Bolton, American Enterprise Institute | January 5, 2009

The war in Gaza is evidence that the current governance paradigm has failed the Palestinian people. ++ It is bizarre that a two-state solution continues to be advocated; "instead, we should look to a three-state approach, where Gaza is returned to Egyptian control and the West Bank in some configuration reverts to Jordanian sovereignty." ++ The suboptimal character of this solution is clear, as is the difficulty of implementing it. ++ However, an alternative that satisfies all parties seems today more than ever impossible to find.

I like this comment! What's this?
Very creative and interesting approach! Yet Bolton is right to point to a certain unwillingness on the part of Egypt and Jordan and that the West Bank and the Gaza Strip should be approached differently. I would add that the West Bank not only is a different story because it is strategically more important than the Gaza Strip but also because the regime in Jordan is less stable and militarily less powerful than Egypt.
