Forget 2-state Mideast solution, embrace 3-state solution
I refer to the letters by Choni Davidowitz and Avner Romm in Jewish Report’s November 27, 2015 edition, equating the two-state Mideast solution with flogging a dead horse.

Davidowitz’s and Romm’s stance is reasonable, thus the practical solution is a “three-state solution” with:
- Egypt mandates Gaza, with a United Nations mandate (like South Africa mandated South West Africa),
- Jordan administers some of the West Bank, starting with 17 per cent – 21 per cent,
- Israel, Jordan and possibly Egypt join the Commonwealth. A canal from the sea along the Jordan River with desalination will rejuvenate the region.
Details of the three-state solution are on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3 state solution). Both Egypt and Jordan are important stakeholders. Perhaps statehood will be reached after several years of administration.
