The latter was undetermined, it led to a local tectonic shift with Israel accepting a ‘land for peace’ formula at the Camp David Accords 6 years later on. With this jerky roll of the local geostrategic kaleidoscope, can a comparable result follow? Even as the ground scenario is developing, some broad, however naturally tentative, speculates can be made.
