The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is deemed the most intractable conflict in modern times, and now the simmering conflict has flared up into the devastating Israeli-Hamas war in Gaza. The root cause of the never-ending crisis is that two peoples, the Israelis and the Palestinians, want the same piece of the Holy Land - the West Bank. Existing one-state and two-state solutions have failed because they try to slice and dice that same piece of land. The PEIS Plan is a path not taken that will resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict once and for all; it does this by introducing a new land.
 
The PEIS Plan stands for the Palestine-Egypt-Israel-Sinai peace plan. The deus ex machina is the introduction of the Sinai Peninsula. The PEIS Plan proposes that Egyptians sell the insurgent-infected part of the Sinai Peninsula to the Palestinians and use the proceeds to develop the rest of the peninsula and the country and make Egypt prominent again. The Palestinians sell the West Bank to Israel and use the remittance to pay the Egyptians and build an independent New Palestinian state that combines the purchased portion of Sinai with the Gaza Strip for a new country that is 50% bigger than Greater Israel, six times larger than the landlocked West Bank, contiguous from the Mediterranean Sea on the North to the Gulf of Aqaba on the South, free-standing with an unrestricted air space, and welcoming to the returning diaspora. Part of Jerusalem will belong to this new nation as its cultural capital. The Israelis buy the West Bank (minus the Jerusalem enclave) from the Palestinians and finally fulfill their immemorial yearning for the "Land of Israel" with full international recognition. There will be no expulsion of Palestinians out of the transferred West Bank: If they choose to stay, they will have New Palestinian citizenship and Israel's new native residency, which will give them all the local rights. Using the PEIS Plan as a template regarding Lebanon and Syria, Israel may gain something it has never known since its independence in 1948: peace with all its neighbors. 
 
The PEIS Plan is a groundbreaking three-state solution that can succeed while one-state and two-state solutions have not, because it gives the stakeholders something dear to them: for the Egyptians, the finance for its economic ambitions; for the Palestinians, a viable country; and for the Israelis, peace, and Judea and Samaria. The PEIS Plan website gives an overview of the rationales behind the Plan, and a recently released book, "A Frog-In-The-Well Solution - The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: How the PEIS Plan will resolve this conflict once and for all", expands on the details.
 
My name is Doc Ngu. I am the architect of the PEIS Plan and the author of the book. It took me two years to finish the book, but the Plan requires the work of more than one person to realize. The Plan needs to reach the decision-makers in the governments of the stakeholder countries, the U.S. and other countries that can act as mediators. My attempts to contact the officials so far have been futile: my messages have not gone past the gatekeepers. 

I am now seeking help to make just one government aware of the PEIS Plan: the current U.S. administration.

The present U.S. Secretary of State has been traveling an umpteenth time to the Middle East, visiting Israel, the West Bank, and Egypt, pushing for the same two-state solution that has been discarded by both the Israelis and Palestinians an umpteenth number of times during the almost eight decades of conflict. This path has led to nowhere; is it now time to explore a path not taken? With its influence on all three parties, the U.S. can push the Israelis, Palestinians, and Egyptians to consider the PEIS Plan's three-state solution. When the consideration is taken place, the Israelis will voluntarily pause the fighting in Gaza to make room for the subsequent negotiation. Hamas will have an incentive to release the hostages, not only to reciprocate on the ceasefire but also to secure its political place in the New Palestinian state.

I invite you to visit the PEIS Plan website for an overview of the PEIS Plan. If you see some merits in the Plan, please sign the petition. I am seeking a number of signatures so significant that the current U.S. government has to take notice.
