@DoktorNo: Bolton has made essentially this suggestion. It won’t be pursued for at least three reasons:
1. Because the new U.S. administration is set to “cooperate with (read: subordinate America’s sovereignty to) the U.N., the left and the entrenched media (oops – repeated myself) have decided that it’s fashionable to ridicule Bolton, irrespective of whether or not his suggestions make the most sense.
2. The original border arrangement would cause Egypt and Jordan (or Syria, depending upon whose claim one recognizes) to be held accountable for further random rocket attacks against civilians directed from within their borders. Even if funding currently being poured into the West Bank and Gaza (from EU, etc.) were directed there via those governments, they don’t want that responsibility.
3. This arrangement forces Egypt’s and Jordan’s (or Syria’s) hands regarding Iran, which is the instigator in most of the attacks by so-called “palestinians” against Israel.
