Population - 2.23 million

(Muslim 75%)

Gaza Strip:

Area - 365 km²

(Muslim 99%, Christian - 1%)

The Proposed Solution

a) Israel may be asked to divide the West Bank into two sections of equal area. Palestine may be be allowed to pick one section for them. The remaining section may be taken by Israel. The Muslims in the Israeli owned land may be asked to move to the land owned by Palestine. The non-Muslims in the Palestine owned land may be given the choice to move to the Israeli section or to remain in the existing area.

b) The Gaza Strip may be given in full to Palestine. The non-Muslims living there may be given the option to move to Israeli region.

c) Jerusalem may be wholly retained by Israel. In case any Palestine people are staying there they may immediately move to their new land.

d) The new people entered into both countries may be given citizenship immediately.

e) Both countries should ensure total elimination of terrorist groups and their activities from their respective countries.

f) Both countries should agree this pact in full and final settlement of all their disputes.

It is requested to all concerned in the United Nations to come forward to make this accepted by both the countries as early as possible. There may not be any other better solution for this problem. No third party should be allowed to interfere in this other than through UN.
