We have so many thread on this topic right now that it's time for a "If" thread.
So:
If Palestine came into existence on 1/1/2017 then what would it look like?
Let's create some ground rule.
All the Jews leave the West Bank.
Jordan gets its 9 km boundary of no shared border with it.
Egypt keeps its 2 km boundary of no shared border with it.
The City of Jerusalem (within the walls) becomes internationally controlled per the original Mandate.
Since there were no negotiations with Israel, all commerce is ended with Israel and none can travel through Israel to get there.
Since there were no negotiations with Israel, all Palestinians (Arab Israelis living in Israel are not affected) are terminated from their jobs in Israel and there are no related Israeli jobs in Palestine as all the factories were shut down and bulldozed (as the Arabs did in Gaza).
Since there were no negotiations with Israel, all utilities created by Israel that emanate from Israel are cut off (water that comes in naturally stays intact).
Since there were no negotiations with Israel, Israel puts in a concrete barrier that encompasses the entire shared border of both regions.
The Gaza Strip gets full sea access limited only by its borders with Israel and Egypt.
How should Israel respond to it? or Should Israel wait for a UN resolution before responding to it?
I am not bringing "morality" into the conversation, and I am just here to answer your question.
This is my opinion,
The solution is for Israel to exert its sovereignty over all its territory and to stand firm and unyielding in its resolve to do so, no matter who disagrees. Israel can offer citizenship to those Arabs willing to sign an oath of loyalty to the Jewish State. The rest can be offered a handsome resettlement package to live where they choose, perhaps in one of the 22 Muslim Arab states in the region.
The world needs to mind its own business.
Oh, for the Americans who want to fight and lose lives for Israel, please join Israel army. The end.
