The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the biggest problem plaguing the Middle East. It is a running sore that is oozing pus all the time.

Its people must feel that they have a reasonable chance of making a success out of their country – only then will they have a vested interest in keeping the peace in this troubled region.
