For the Cease-fire to Be Permanent, There Has to Be a Practical Plan for Postwar Gaza
Egyptian President Sissi's proposal is unrealistic, officials in Ramallah are sending mixed signals and Israel says it won’t let the Palestinian Authority have any role ■ Biden appears to have no partner in his hopes for a permanent resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sissi has an original idea for ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In a press conference he held Friday alongside the prime ministers of Spain and Belgium, he admitted that "a diplomatic solution for the establishment of a Palestinian state within the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, is far from being attainable." He thereby proposed that the UN recognize a Palestinian state without any negotiations.
