A Frog-In-The-Well Solution - The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

<p>This <strong>PEIS Book</strong> presents the <strong>PEIS Plan</strong> - a three-state triple-win proposal to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. Egypt would transfer the troublesome northern and eastern Sinai (the <strong>PEIS Sinai</strong>) to the Palestinians and use the proceeds for a new Egypt. The Palestinians would merge the PEIS Sinai with Gaza to form New Palestine a contiguous two-sea-access state with an unimpeded airspace. To fund the acquisition they would transfer the embattled West Bank to Israel. By financing the three-way deal Israel would secure permanent peace and legal recognition of Judea and Samaria as part of the new Israel.</p><p></p><p>The PEIS Plan stands for the <strong>Palestine-Egypt-Israel-Sinai</strong> peace plan.</p><p></p><p>The Book identifies the root cause of the Conflict as land: Israelis and Palestinians want the same piece of land - the West Bank. The introduction of the PEIS Sinai allows the two peoples whose history intertwines to develop separate futures in neighborly peace. The Book summarizes the current Conflict describes the PEIS Plan and explains why the Egyptians Palestinians Israelis and the other parties to the Conflict such as the Bedouins and the Islamic insurgents should consider the PEIS Plan and how the PEIS Plan in one stroke would resolve the status of Jerusalem the right of the return of the Palestinian diaspora and other long-simmering issues and how Israel could afford to ultimately pay for this three-way transaction.</p><p></p><p>The PEIS Plan's transactions would transfer the lands but not the private properties on top of the lands. Egyptian companies could remain in the PEIS Sinai to capture the tremendous opportunities of nation-building in New Palestine. The Palestinians in the West Bank now citizens of New Palestine could remain in this transferred territory as long as they wish with their stay protected under the innovative <strong><em>native residency</em></strong>. The PEIS Plan requires native residency to be amended into Israel's Basic Laws to give New Palestinian citizens in the West Bank the same local rights as Israeli citizens: they could not be deported their assets could not be confiscated they could run for local offices and vote for their candidates and they could move freely and peacefully within the West Bank as a reassured Israel gradually removed barriers and checkpoints.</p><p></p><p>The Book frames the PEIS Plan core chapters with biographical writing about the author's youth in Vietnam during the <strong>Vietnam War</strong> and his drawing parallels with the presented Conflict.</p><p></p><p>The PEIS Plan was developed when the Conflict was simmering but not boiling. The first edition of the PEIS Book was published a few days before Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel. With the Middle East now tormented by shooting wars and the PEIS Plan as viable as before this 2025 Revised Edition expands the first edition with new appendices:</p><p></p><p><strong>Appendix A: The Cast of Characters</strong></p><p>The core chapters use epithets instead of names emphasizing their roles. This appendix associates the epithets with names pictures and links to biographies.</p><p></p><p><strong>Appendix B: The Cession Impediments</strong></p><p>The core chapters skim over the legalistic and nationalistic impediments to the PEIS Plan. This appendix deep dives into these issues.</p><p></p><p><strong>Appendix C: The Idiotic PEIS Plan</strong></p><p>This appendix has the author's responses to negative feedback on the PEIS Plan.</p><p></p><p><strong>Appendix D: The Plan After</strong></p><p>This appendix describes how the PEIS Plan is a viable follow-up to the October 2025 ceasefire in the two-year-old Gaza War.</p><p></p><p><strong>Appendix E: No Beef With Iran</strong></p><p>This thought exercise shows a path to end the animosity between Israel and Iran. </p>
