Managing the conflict (the status quo)
No final settlement: occupation of the West Bank, separation from Gaza, periodic rounds of war.
What happens to Israeli Jews
Israelis keep full control and bear recurring war, terror and international isolation.
What happens to Palestinians
No state, no vote over the power that rules them; periodic war.
What it requires
- Indefinite military rule over millions of West Bank Palestinians
- Containment of Gaza
- Accepting recurring wars as the price
Who supports it
Not usually offered as a poll option; it is the policy that was in place before October 7.
What history says
- The years 2007–2023 — which ended in October 7 and the war in Gaza
The hard questions
- What does this offer Palestinians — and why would they accept it?
- How long can a democracy rule millions who can't vote for it?
