I missed it, but what planet ARE you from.
Not that it wouldn’t be a just solution. Jordan would have dealt with Palestinian terror as they dealt with the PLO. Lots of dead, no PLO. But it’s too late.
Stefan Stackhouse: The window of opportunity for the Israelis to implement this solution was immediately after the 1967 war…Israel's failure to do so when it had the chance was a failure of nerve, a failure which is bringing it dire consequences now.
A lesson to be learned there. At the height of the IDF’s aggressiveness, following a historical military success, a lasting solution was impossible. IMO, a liberal government probably is to blame. If it were lack of the nation’s will, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.
Actually, a better option than Jordan raised at the time was the creation of a refugee “state” in the Sinai, perhaps encompassing a portion of Gaza.
It is difficult to invision any scenario that could accomplish the desired outcome now…
Perhaps a division of the West Bank along the lines proposed by the Joint Chiefs in the late 60’s to provide Israel with defensible borders (I’ll post them if you wish). It would provide the “Palestinians” with about 40% of the West Bank for a demilitarized state. Given the passage of time, they’d get Gaza too.
Most important, there would be recognizable borders, the violation of which (and it will happen) would be an act of war.

The Sinai is as hospitable as Mars. It's also Egyptian. They won't agree to it.
