About a contiguous Palestinian state, is this also supposed to include the Golan Heights? The logic seems to be: countries surrounding Israel donate some land to the Palestinians. Egypt gives Gaza, Jordan gives the West Bank, and Syria gives the Golan Heights. Then they say: all 3 of these lands must be contiguous, because it’s repulsive to us to have to pass through Israel, to get from one part of our Palestinian State to another.

I don’t see why the Palestinian State needs to be contiguous at all. Before 1967, this land belonged to 3 entirely different countries: Egypt, Syria, and Jordan. If these 3 countries get their land back, that’s one thing. But I don’t see why these 3 pieces of land then have to be connected to one another.
