Reach out to all the Actors in the Conflict. Ensure they know there is a credible effort to establish peace. This is important because a credible path forward takes away the justifications for violence that is often advocated for. This peace plan can lessen the influence of radicals in both societies. As long as there is progress being made, it will be difficult for them to convince people to join them in commiting violence.

This peace process will have the greatest chance of success if we can get the world to agree to aid in it. With the backing of the international community, radicals will have less room for disrupting the process and those who seek peace will have an steady supply of resources to aid in the process. This may be difficult, but with the public behind it, governments will have more incentives to aid in building the peace. 

This is a Declaration that the U.S. and International Community will NOT accept a Genocide or Mass Deportations of the Jewish or Palestinian peoples.

• Any radicals who are wishing for genocide or even just forcing the other side off of their lands are essentially asking for a 21st century "Final Solution". THIS IS NOT HUMANE. 
• There is nowhere in the world for either of these peoples to go. Even if one side were to be forced to leave, the reality and logistics required to accomplish this feat would be reminiscent of the Holocaust. It would require camps, Gestapo like police to forcibly remove people who did not want to leave, and it would be a grave violation of human rights. THIS WILL NEVER BE AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION. 
• Declaring that this is not even an option will reasure the people of Israel and Palestine that they will not be displaced anywhere. 

The aims are this plan. People must know what they are fighting for. Proposed aims include.

• Three State Solution.
  • Israel
  • Palestine
  • Jerusalem (The Old City)
• Palestinian borders could include the 1967 borders. 
  • Includes East Jerusalem, a bargaining chip for Israel. Perhaps they can keep Golan Heights for East Jerusalem

• Jerusalem (The Old City) 
  • Will be a free city ruled by laws, not people, and dedicated to God.
  • This is a compromise from the 1947 UN Resolution.
  • The state will be governed by three officials. 
    • 1 Jewish
    • 1 Muslim
    • 1 Christian
  • Borders will be The Old City, located in Jerusalem.
  • Will guarantee the ability of all to worship there.
  • Security forces will owe no allegiance to anyone but the city itself.
  • This will likely appease the religious extremists. 
• Free Movement between the borders of Israel, Palestine, and Jerusalem. 
  • The borders between them will not matter in the future. 
• One for One Citizenship Swaps.
  • Example would be for every Palestinian granted citizenship by Israel, one Israeli would be granted citizenship by Palestine. 
  • This will appease the demographic concerns on both sides.
  • Can be used to settle the questions on what to do with the Israeli Settlers already there and the Palestinian desire for the Right to Return.
• Security for all citizens. 
  • Defensive pacts between Israel and Palestine.
  • Coordination and Cooperation between both countries.
• Establish A Joint Peace Task Force
  • Will be composed of Israeli and Palestinian officials whose primary mission is to ensure the peace process succeeds. 

Getting people on both sides to believe that peace is possible is crucial. This roadmap seeks to address this by creating a realistic pathway that people can look too. This has been a 75 year conflict. True peace will not be achieved overnight, but this roadmap can be a path towards it. Tasks to accomplish for this will be. 

1. Spread the message that Peace is possible.
2. Combat the source locations (disrupter media narratives)
3. Combat the Content- What is disinformation?
4. Be louder than those seeking to derail peace.

In the book On Killing, the author Dave Grossman examines the different ways that make it easier for Soldiers to kill one another. He examined how people have a natural reluctance to kill, and this is overcome through several methods.

1. Dehumanization of the enemy
2. Distance between the Soldier and the enemy. 
3. Convincing Soldiers their cause is just.
4. Making the action seem less real, like a video game. 

The book goes into much greater details than this, but it has a common theme in all of its methods, dehumanizing the enemy in the eyes of the Soldier. When we remind them of the humanity of the other side, it becomes more difficult to hate them and fight them. This is on reason why hatred and racism cannot survive close contact.

This is a Joint Declaration where both sides simply state that they owe it to their children to find a peaceful resolution. They agree that

1. Children are innocent in this conflict.
2. All steps must be taken to avoid child casualties

This may seem like something that should be a given, but it is a small step towards peace, and any step towards peace is progress. 

A single issue statement. The Israelis and Palestinians make a joint statement that all people should be able to live free and pursue happy lives. This is not tied to anything else. It is a small measurable goal that can lower tensions and hatred slightly. 

This is already happening on different levels, but this needs to be constantly assessed. The rebuilding after the end to the current war ends will be critical in breaking the cycle of war. Plans for economic aid and infrastructure rebuilding need to be ready to be implemented as soon as the fighting stops. 

This plan was designed to be able to adapt to however the war ends. The details of the ceasefire will be determined by the two sides. Here are some recommendations for a successful resolution.

1. End of Hostilities
2. Hamas fighters lay down their weapons
3. The Israeli Settlement building is paused.
4. Humanitarian Aid is allowed through. 
5. Prisoner Swaps
6. Agree to Medical Plan
7. Agreement between the two sides to not go to the ICC for past abuses. This is the start of something new. 
8. Agree to Roadmap For Peace
   1. Can be presented as a victory by all sides
   2. Builds Legitimacy

1. Enforce cessation of hostilities, peace agreements, and other arrangements.
2. Determine disposition and composition of armed forces and intelligence services.
   1. Draw from Palestinians, they will be more acceptable to the population in performing security functions.
3. Conduct disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration.
4. Conduct border control, boundary security, and freedom of movement.
5. Support identification programs.
6. Protect key personnel and facilities.
7. Clear explosives and other hazards.

1. Provide security, food, water, shelter, basic sanitation, and health care.
2. Start focusing on Long-term requirements:
   1. Developing educational systems
   2. Avoiding inadvertent harm to civilians
   3. Addressing past abuses
   4. Promoting peaceful coexistence among the host nation population.
   5. Access to and delivery of basic needs ensured.
   6. Planning on the citizenship swaps, being able to achieve freedom of movement between the future three states.
   7. Instances of civilian harm investigated and appropriately addressed.
   8. Transitional justice promoted.
   9. Peaceful coexistence is supported.

1. Composed of Israeli and Palestinian Officials. 
2. Their primary mission will be to ensure the success of this peace process.
3. They will provide a united response to any potential disruptors to peace.
   1. They agree to denounce all violence. 
   2. They will always present a united front.
   3. They must ensure people stay the course.
4. Areas of Focus for this task force will be
   1. Reconciliation Efforts
   2. Ensuring Military Cooperation
   3. Economic Cooperation
   4. Healthcare Coordination
   5. Education Support and Coordination
   6. Cultural Awareness, Protection, and Humanizing both sides
   7. Safety
      1. Crime Prevention
      2. Anti-Terrorism
      3. Border Protection
      4. Intelligence Cooperation
   8. Poverty Reduction Measures
   9. Environmental Cooperation
      

THIS SHOULD BE DONE AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE POINT IN PHASE ONE. This will require its own plan, but is entirely feasible. Some key points. 

1. The IDF already currently has a medical plan in place for their Soldiers. Humanitarian aid groups are on the ground trying to provide medical care.
2. Make an agreement with neighboring countries to allow for the transport of critical casualties to their hospitals. Especially children. 
3. Establish Casualty Collection Points (CCPs) inside Gaza. This is not to different from what is currently in place, the difference will be these are locations for evacuations of casualties. Medical staff will triage patients and determine who can be treated on site and who requires transport to fully functioning hospitals outside of Gaza.
4. The Aid will be ramped up in order to staff and supply established hospitals to maximum capacity. The aid will go towards these CCPs and any hospital agreeing to take critical patients from Gaza. 
5. There could be an opportunity for volunteers to travel to these outside hospitals to help staff them, equip them, provide training, and logisitical support to these locations. 
6. Aid Organizations will likely need to build more field hospitals to deal with the influx of Palestinians seeking care. 
7. A transportation system will need to be established. There will likely need to be ground and air transport from these CCPs to the hospitals identified. This will require transport vehicles, fuel, medical personnel, medical supplies, and more. It is entirely feasible. Many of the supplies can be from donations by Non-Government Organizations and other Governments.
8. At minimum establish one for pediatric patients.
   1. Governments can turn away adults easily, but it is more difficult, and morally wrong, to turn away injured children.
