Section Two: Final Status Issues,
Lasting Peace and Reconciliation (Refugees, Jerusalem, Settlements,
Borders, Water And Other Natural Resources)
There are discussions among the decision-makers and political circles
at the regional and international levels, and even in Israel and within
the Palestinian society itself about certain scenarios as potential
solutions for the final status issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
We need you to assess the following
scenarios and tell us if they are preferable and-or feasible. |
