Annex Judea and Samaria

Everyone knows that there is no diplomatic solution. Israel won't make further compromises to those offered and the Arabs have never compromised in a hundred years

So far Israel, has adamantly opposed abrogating the Oslo Accords, no matter what the provocation. After fifteen years of trying to negotiate a deal, perhaps its time for Israel to do so. The PA's unilateral declaration, should it happen, could be just the pretext, if a pretext is needed.

Everyone knows that there is no diplomatic solution. Israel won't make further compromises, and the Arabs have never compromised in a hundred years. As a result of such an impasse, the PA threatens a unilateral declaration, and the EU (and some in the U.S.) threaten an imposed solution. Israel also is contemplating unilateral action. What might that be?

It would involve annexing parts, if not all, of Judea and Samaria. No land would have to be conquered. Israel has already annexed Jerusalem and the Golan. The Israelis could do the same for other settlements, such as Ariel and Maaleh Adumin, and perhaps the Jordan Valley. At a minimum, it would signal that these settlements, like Jerusalem, are non-negotiable.
