"Palestinians" cannot govern themselves because they are South-Syrian or Egyptian Arabs locked-up in refugee camps and given pseudo-nat`l identity just to spearhead destruction of IL - in essence an "anti-nation" unable to unite behind any other cause.

Jordan, part of initial Pal Mandate, was separated by Brits in 1922 to create original Pal-Arab state and is today one of best-run
Arab states.

Peace treaty with Egypt provides IL with Sinai security buffer.

Lasting settlement can only be based on Gaza placed under Egypt; with parts of W.Bank linked to Jordan - possibly through a confederation -
safeguarding security and settlements for Israel, demographics for Arabs, holy sites for both.

Egypt and Jordan face no long-term alternative, because they can`t allow adjacent Muslim Bros (Hamas) or irredentist (Fatah) regimes, respectively.

Any further "Palestinism" on narrow sliver will only bring more war, bloodshed and misery - not hoped-for peace!
