Six-state solution

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The six-state solution is a proposed solution of the Israel-Palestine conflict that concerns the creation of a Middle Eastern community between Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, a Palestinian state and Syria. This proposal goes beyond the one-state and two-state solutions which do not encapsulate the conflict between Israel and Palestine within a broader context.

The solution is modeled after the creation of the European Union, which originated in bilateral dialogue between France and Germany turning Franco-German enmity into Franco-German cooperation. Apart from this Franco-German axis more countries were concerned and involved: it led to cooperation between France and Germany, the neighbouring Benelux countries Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, and Italy.

The proposal has been advocated by professor Johan Galtung[1].
