Roth confounds UN, USA & Australia: Two-State solution 'is gone'

Significantly – no rejection of the Saudi Solution has been expressed since its release by:

• Saudi Arabia's recently appointed Prime Minister: Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman
• Jordan's King Abdullah
• PLO leader Mahmoud Abbas
• Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh
• The Arab League

Roth's reality call sees the UN, US and Australia exposed as three Emperors with no clothes – paddling furiously against a growing tide of opinion that is destined to consign the two-state solution to the diplomatic graveyard with other failed plans proposed over the last 74 years.

The Saudi Solution is the lifeline the UN, US and Australia need to grab if they wish to see the 100-years old conflict between Arabs and Jews finally resolved.

The Saudi Solution points the new way forward:

The Palestinian problem can only be solved today if it is redefined. The issue in this day and age for people should be not so much the ownership of ancestral land but more the critical need to have a legal identity-a globally respected citizenship that allows a person to operate in the modern world. Labor in this day and age is mobile and having citizenship in a country that facilitates such mobility is critical to human development.

Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid continues to support the two-state solution. With Israeli elections set for 1 November - no other Israeli politician has yet told Israeli voters whether they:

• agree with Lapid
• would back exploring the Saudi Solution and its implementation or
• what their alternative policy would be for ending the long running conflict.

Flogging a dead horse is in no one's interest.
