Middle East impasse: The only way out

Share

Middle East impasse: the only way out was published in January 1977. It built on the two-state proposal in the author’s 1973 Young Fabian pamphlet by sketching out how a Palestinian state could swiftly and safely be catalyzed at a time when negotiations between Israel and the PLO were out of the question and before the occupation became too deeply entrenched. In essence, it proposed a unilateral Israeli withdrawal from the bulk of the landlocked West Bank, leaving all other matters, including final borders, to be negotiated between the Israeli government and the future neighbouring Palestinian government.
