And an interesting commentary that follows:
The plan envisions normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia, and eventual union between the West Bank and Gaza under Palestinian administration, but does not explicitly call for the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state.
It also draws upon emerging agreements between Israel and nearby Arab states under which Israel plans to provide desalination technology on the Mediterranean in return for solar energy from vast solar fields to be built in the desert.
It remains to be seen whether the plan draws support. Palestinians have rejected such forward-looking plans before.
The timing of the plan suggests that the Netanyahu government wishes to make the case that it does not seek the “genocide” of the Palestinian people in Gaza, but rather a peaceful and mutually prosperous postwar coexistence.
