You’re right that the other countries in the region don’t want them, but in part because they’ve been adding their riff-raff to the pile for decades now.
But we’ve been forking over billions per year to those countries and one of them ought sooner to give up a bit of their vast territory for it than Israel to be sliced even smaller.
The only problem with a NEW METHODOLOGY for dealing with the Palestinians on the land that they currently reside on right now is that Israel and the Palestinian Authority have created a TWENTY YEAR TRACK RECORD of setting up a Palestinian State, with all the accompanying signed agreements font along with it.
And the second problem after that, is that Israel doesn’t want it to happen “APART FROM NEGOTIATIONS” ... because Israel intends to get its security concerns taken care of in those negotiations. The Palestinian Authority, on the other hand, would PREFER to have it DECLARED and not “NEGOTIATED” ... because then they would have no responsibilities to keep (from negotiations). That’s why a NEGOTIATED FINAL STATUS AGREEMENT is what Israel insists on!
