Rehmani, gtopa1, Billo_Really, et al,
I'm getting confused as to what the issue is here.
All the powers-that-be understand the legitimacy of Resolution 181(II), and the historical intent. We also know that there were powerful Arab forces that attempted to overturn the intent of Resolution 181(II) by force. But that was more than half a century ago. Certainly the UN, as a body, recognizes the important historical significants to the resolution; it is still cited as a precedence in matter on the "Question of Palestine." While some still argue the significants, the UN then and the UN now still hold that it is the concept (Two-State Solution) in play.
It is doubtful, given the political and uncooperative nature of the Palestinians, that any UN Coalition is going to attempt to correct the unintentional consequences that have arose since that time. It is a waste of time, money and effort. It has not been the case that any of the Arab States formerly under Mandate, did not ultimately bite the hand that feed them. It is unlikely that any of the original Allied Powers, or any of todays leading Powers, are going to make any effort to mediate an agreement between the parties in conflict.
At the end of the day, the solution rests with the conflict parties coning to an agree by treaty. A treaty can clean the slate. Both Egypt and Jordan have come to settlement. If the other parties want a new understanding, then they have to make the same commitment and put forth the same level of effort as Egypt and Jordan. Otherwise, there really will be no real movement forward.
Most Respectfully,
R
