Title:Fatah option is State Dept fiction that doesn`t exist in reality
Name:G Marcus
City: State: Israel
Regarding Arabs of West Bank only 2 real options exist: (a) Hamas rule (b) Jordanian rule.

Only force keeping Fatah presence alive and preventing WB from turning into another Gaza overran by Hamas is Israeli army.

Solutions:

Gaza: With or - if necessary - without Hamas, needs to be turned into Singapore/Dubai-like Arab state as an industrial/logistics hub on Eastern Mediterranean.

- WB: In light of more complex geopolitics, parts of WB federated with Jordan; safeguarding security and settlements for Israel, demographics for Arabs, holy sites for both.

Any further "Palestinism" on narrow sliver, is recipe for none other than endless war, bloodshed and misery, not yearned-for peace!
