By In 2008, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert proposed a two-state solution to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The plan included the establishment of a Palestinian state on 94% of the West Bank, with Israel retaining control of major Jewish settlements. However, the plan was never implemented due to Olmert’s resignation and the subsequent election of Benjamin Netanyahu as Prime Minister.Olmert’s plan also proposed a tunnel or road to connect the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and a joint committee to oversee the holy sites in Jerusalem.
However, the plan was met with skepticism by Palestinian leaders, who deemed it unworkable. Despite this, Olmert remains optimistic that his plan could have brought peace to the region.The Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains unresolved, with numerous failed attempts at peace negotiations over the years. Olmert’s plan is just one example of the many proposed solutions that have failed to come to fruition. The conflict continues to be a major source of tension in the Middle East, with no clear end in sight.
