It will never end
This issue will never be resolved as Israel wants to take over the complete region. If no one has noticed that Israel never existed in the first place, it slowly started taking over Palestine and managed to conquer 90 per cent of it.
The Arab countries woke up late to it and now they want it back. So it is something that will never ever end.
This is because both sides are stuck to their opinions for the same. Plus all these meetings and everything that's going on are of no use while the innocent die during their meetings.
Amazingly neither America nor the Arab countries care about the innocent dying everyday whether on Israeli side or Palestinian side.
People are people but are being treated worse than animals.
From Mr. Raza Rizvi

Double standards
US is biased and whenever Israel talks about peace, the next day the Israelis attack the Palestinians.
The problem will not be solved up to the time the US remains as the sole super power.
From Mr. Rafeeque
UAE
Never been fair
The conflict will never be resolved as long as the US and Israel exist. History clearly shows that the land which belongs to the Palestinians is completely occupied by Israel.
The US has never been fair to anybody as it is well known that wherever they have gone there has only been bloodshed.
If Palestine has to get its land back then Israel must leave the land once and for all. Truce has become a joke for them.

Give right to return
No, I don't think that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict could be resolved amicably in the foreseeable future - not at least in our lifetime.
No, the international community especially the US governments (not the people) since last 60 years or so, have not been fair in its outlook, vision as well as approach towards the Palestinian-Israeli conflict mainly because of its long term geo-political goals in the Middle East as well as the acute pressure of the powerful Jewish lobbies in the US, spanning over all political, public, governmental and financial institution.
The solution to this grave and tragic Palestinian-Israeli conflict is to implement all UN resolutions in letter and spirit.
Yes, I very strongly feel that the hapless and displaced Palestinian refugees should immediately be granted their inalienable right to return to their own land, illegally, immorally and unethically occupied by Israel since last 60 years.
From Mr. Aamir A. Salaria
USA
UK is also to blame
It will never be resolved, US and UK are mainly responsible especially Britain who plays double standards.
US always try to act as a good human, but it's actually selling weapons to both sides.
Yes the people of Palestine are the rightful owners of their land, and Arab countries must help them financially and morally to relocate them in the region.

Bad blood
I don't think that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will ever be resolved because both people want occupied Jerusalem as their capital city and as their main holy site which is not viable.
On top of that after more than 60 years of fighting and killing since the formation of the state of Israel there is too much bad blood between the two sides.
