Abstract
After almost twenty-five years since the Oslo accords, the last relatively successful peace agreement between the Palestinians and the Israelis, Trump’s plan is the newest attempt to achieve sustainable long-lasting peace in the Middle East between the two conflicting parties. This paper argues that the P&P plan is designed to a one-state solution. Through a comparison between the Oslo Accords and the P&P plan we can observe the shift from the two state notions to the one state concept with a system of apartheid. The article also attempts to suggest improvements on the plan to be more suitable for both parties under a one state solution, namely, to include a new constitution.
Highlights
Notwithstanding of Israel’s upcoming elections with a prime minister facing trial for corruption, an American president reelection campaign in less than a year while his impeachment trial is ongoing and Palestinians who had not spoken to America in two years, Donald Trump has unveiled his long-awaited Middle East peace plan
In this paper we argue that Trump’s plan swerved from the typical historical peace negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians
The Oslo Accords were a set of agreements between the state of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) which were signed between the years 1993 and 1995 in Washington DC and Egypt respectively
Summary
Notwithstanding of Israel’s upcoming elections with a prime minister facing trial for corruption, an American president reelection campaign in less than a year while his impeachment trial is ongoing and Palestinians who had not spoken to America in two years, Donald Trump has unveiled his long-awaited Middle East peace plan. His vision presented a match to the Israeli leader’s hard-line, nationalist views while falling far short of Palestinian goals. The paper compares the Oslo Accords and the Peace to Prosperity plan to show how the peace progress negotiations are shifting towards a one-state solution due to new realities in the region. The article provides suggestions and adjustment to improve the plan to be acceptable for both parties
