I view the conflict as survival of the fittest, in which Israel demonstrated its supremacy by defeating all attempts at invasion and elimination, such as the Yom Kippur War, the Six-Day War, and the War of Attrition. has also been a topic of debate. I would create a Palestinian state with the aim of defining a place where a historically hostile force can exist. The creation of the Palestinian state would be a precautionary action against the new Palestinian state, so that if another war were to break out, the Israelis would know where a considerable amount of attacks could come from. With the creation of a Palestinian state, the problem arises of defining the borders of the newborn state. With the new State of Palestine it would receive all of the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and a five-mile-wide amount of land connecting the two provinces so that transit between the two provinces would be allowed for the Palestinian people. Not all of the West Bank will be ceded for the purpose of creating a Palestinian state. A ten-mile-wide strip of land from the top of the West Bank to the southern side of the West Bank would be given to Israel for transit between the northern part of Israel and the southern areas.
