Giora Eiland, a retired IDF general and former head of the Israeli National Security Council, said that instead of a ‘two-state solution,’ which he dismisses as untenable, Israel should give land claimed by the Palestinian Authority to Egypt and Jordan, including ‘security control’ over all of Judea and Samaria.
In a letter he presented over the weekend at a meeting of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy conference, Eiland proposed giving Jordan security control of Judea and Samaria. He also proposed giving Egypt a strip of land hundreds of square kilometers in size at the Israel-Egypt border, as well as a tunnel connecting Egypt and Jordan under Israel’s southern tip near Eilat.
"Israel and the Palestinians do not truly desire the conventional two-state solution, and the Arab world - especially Jordan and Egypt - does not truly support it either,” wrote Eiland in the paper. Believing that an independent Arab state in Judea and Samaria would likely be taken over by Hamas, he said that Jordan, the Arab country which would be most concerned with such a takeover, should be granted military control of those areas. 
"Good luck finding Jordanians who will accept this idea. This is a non-starter," said Marwan Muasher, former Foreign Minister of Jordan.
"Moderate states like Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia seem more willing than ever to be proactively involved in the peace process," Eiland added, and he believes that in addition to surrendering control of the Jewish heartland to Jordan, Israel should give land to Egypt. In his plan, Egypt would give the Palestinian Authority 600 square kilometers of Egyptian soil adjoining Gaza, effectively doubling the size of the Hamas-controlled Gaza salient. In exchange, Israel would give a similar amount of land to Egypt at the Israel-Egypt border.
The plan was summarily rejected by Jordanians at the conference. "Good luck finding Jordanians who will accept this idea. This is a non-starter," said Marwan Muasher, former Foreign Minister of Jordan. Eiland’s proposition moved another Jordanian official to stand up and proclaim that “the Jordanian option is not an option.” Many doubt that Jordan would be willing to have a hostile PA population under its control alongside the 80 percent Palestinian Arab majority in Jordan that already threatens the stability of the minority Hashemite government.
Yehuda HaKohen, a noted Land of Israel activist, sees the issue differently. “General Eiland is correct to oppose a two state solution but his reasoning is obviously flawed,” said HaKohen, head of the Israel-based chapter of the Zionist Freedom Alliance.
"The Land of Israel rightfully belongs only to the Jewish people."
“The biggest problem with the notion of two states for two peoples in the land of Israel is that the land of Israel rightfully belongs only to the Jewish people and to divide our country would be an historic injustice.
“Giving the heartland of our country to Jordan would be no less a crime than creating an artificial foreign state in our land.”
Although he agreed with Eiland that a Palestinian state was not an option, Prof. MK Aryeh Eldad (N.U.-N.R.P.) also slammed Eiland’s proposal. “The main problem with [Eiland's] solution is that he misdiagnosed the disease,” said the former chief surgeon of the IDF and head of the burns department at Hadassah-Ein Kerem hospital.
“He still belongs to those people who believe that the conflict between Israel and the Arabs is a territorial one, which it’s not. If it were a territorial conflict, it could have been solved a long time ago,” by territorial concessions, which Eldad points out have been offered a number of times to the Arabs, and rejected every time.
Instead, Eldad countered, the conflict is fundamentally a “religious conflict, a cultural conflict,” and he says we have been “brainwashed” to believe otherwise.
“The land of Israel, to Muslims, is a Wakf”, he pointed out. A Wakf is a sacred land inherited by Islam that
With Hamas leaders released, Europe would come a step closer to seeing global Islam for what it is: a faith firmly committed to the subjugation of the entire world. Muslims believe should remain Muslim in perpetuity. As such, we can rest assured that “the Arabs will never allow” a part of it to remain in Jewish hands, Eldad reasoned. Aside from a few “naïve ‘moderate’ PA leaders” at the fringe of politics who may be willing to sign a compromise such as Eiland’s, the mainstream of Muslims locally and around the world would vehemently, and if necessary violently, oppose such a deal.
The correct path for Israel, said Eldad, is to allow Europe and the West to acknowledge the true radical heart of the PA. “All we have to do is to release Hamas politicians back into Judea and Samaria,” the professor said, while he lashed out at Israel’s policy of imprisoning Hamas politicians. Israel, he charges, has no right to strengthen the ruling Fatah ruling party by “imprisoning democratically elected politicians.”
With Hamas leaders released, the terror group would rule over Judea and Samaria as well as Gaza, believes Eldad, and Europe would come a step closer to seeing global Islam for what it is: a faith firmly committed to the subjugation of the entire world.
