A Palestinian state is the foundation for regional peace
This article argues that the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state is the only viable solution to achieving long-term peace in West Asia. It suggests that regional conflicts involving Israel, Iran, and various militant groups will persist until a two-state reality is fully realized.
Why it matters
It addresses the core geopolitical impasse in the Middle East, offering a perspective on how statehood recognition is essential for regional stability.
There is one, and only one solution to the decades long, volatile and bloody situation in West Asia: the creation or the establishment of a sovereign, independent, viable Palestinian state. In essence, it is no different from the oft-touted two-state solution. But the two-state formula speaks of the establishment of two states living side by side in good neighbourliness. However, one state already exists. What is needed is to establish or create a new, second state, namely Palestine. There will never be peace and stability in the region unless this is done. All the conflicts in the region — Israel’s war on Gaza, the Iran war, the Hezbollah-Israel war, the Houthi phenomenon — will not be resolved unless a viable Palestinian state comes into being.
