Abstract
This essay draws attention to some of the current conditions in Palestine as these relate to, and potentially affect, the arguments contained in Alon Ben‐Meir's (2022) recent proposal for an Israeli‐Palestinian‐Jordanian Confederation. In contrast to the level of free speech in Israel, the situation in Palestine is significantly more guarded and less understood abroad. I argue that this should be taken into account in any and all proposals for conflict resolution between the two peoples. My aim is to highlight some important aspects of the proposal and encourage Israelis and Palestinians alike to investigate more deeply what is happening in Palestine in order to assist in generating policy solutions that consider the concerns and the goals of both peoples in the context of a permanent solution to their conflict. Este ensayo llama la atención sobre algunas de las condiciones actuales en Palestina en la medida en que se relacionan con los argumentos contenidos en la reciente propuesta de Alon Ben‐Meir (2022) para una Confederación Israelí‐Palestina‐Jordana. En contraste con el nivel de libertad de expresión en Israel, la situación en Palestina es significativamente más cautelosa y menos comprendida en el exterior. Sostengo que esto debe tenerse en cuenta en todas y cada una de las propuestas de resolución de conflictos entre los dos pueblos. Mi objetivo en este ensayo es resaltar algunos aspectos importantes de la propuesta y alentar a israelíes y palestinos por igual a investigar más profundamente lo que está sucediendo en Palestina para ayudar a generar soluciones políticas que consideren las preocupaciones y los objetivos de ambos pueblos en el contexto de un solución permanente a su conflicto. 本篇评论文聚焦于巴勒斯坦当前的部分局势,因为其有关于并可能影响Alon Ben‐Meir近期提出的以色列‐巴勒斯坦‐约旦联盟提议中的论点。与以色列的言论自由水平相比,巴勒斯坦的局势更为谨慎并且国外对此的了解更少。我论证认为,在用于解决两国人民之间的冲突的一切建议都应该考虑到这一点。本文旨在强调一些重要问题,并鼓励人们更深入地调查巴勒斯坦的现状,以便制定更充分考虑两国人民情境的政策解决方案。
