The Oasis Plan: Great Problems Demand Great Solutions

As the world becomes clearer and clearer that the mass killing in Gaza will not be stopped unless a fundamental change is introduced to end the conflict, it becomes essential to ask: what comes after the cease-fire?

What joint process will be set in motion, involving what partners, to secure a durable peace, despite the atrocities committed and the bitterness of antagonists? Only a solution that quickly establishes a new economic platform, designed to employ, in principle, the entire population of Gaza in building, together with willing partners, Gaza as a center of trade, production and education, can succeed.

This means, in turn, that several nearby nations must also be simultaneously drawn into such a process that will change the face of Southwest Asia forever, from a center of world conflict to a crossroads of world cooperation.

What role must Americans aspire to play in such a process?
