12. Security
Israel is currently maintaining security through the development of a physical barrier between the two territories as well as a significant military force. As a part of negotiations, the two sides must agree on border control, military presence, and policing of settlements and Jerusalem.

13. Settlements
As seen on the right, Israeli settlements currently take up a considerable portion of Palestinian territory in the West Bank. For peace to be possible, there must be agreement over the number and location of settlements for both Israelis and Palestinians.

39. Whose Jerusalem? The Arab-Israeli Conflict Lessons to Remember
1. We must strive for maintenance of peace, beyond the peace treaty.
2. High officials are under political pressure not to be flexible, and not to generate options that could benefit all sides, because they must deal with their own people when they return.
3. We must help Israelis and their Arab neighbors to learn about and practice working jointly and peacefully on what will be an ENDLESS stream of differences - as a “process”.
Track 1 and 2 diplomacy

40. Whose Jerusalem? The Arab-Israeli Conflict Lessons to Remember
4. Second-level government officials and non-officials, or track 2 officials, are better at brainstorming. Track 1 officials can later select the best options, improve them, and then make binding decisions.
5. Middle school, high school and college teachers/professors and students acting jointly have great power to generate some possible good decisions that could then be “made” by officials at later dates (proposed “track 3” diplomacy).
6. Diplomacy is not about “empathy” - it is more about RESPECT
7. We must teach, and hence create, a new, enlightened set of Middle East advisors who do not have ideology leading the way, and who have a tough, no-nonsense approach to diplomacy that is SMART, TOUGH AND FAIR.

41. Whose Jerusalem? The Arab-Israeli Conflict Lessons to Remember
8. Know your BATNA - and carefully estimate theirs!
BATNA is the acronym for Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement.
If you look at it from the simplest standpoint, your BATNA is the choice you can make if you conclude that negotiating with a particular party is not likely to yield a favorable result. You can walk away from a negotiation if your BATNA is better than the likely outcome of that negotiation.

46. A quote from? From: ___________________Salzburg, Austria
To: Friendship Among Children and Youth (Founded Under UNESCO), New York
Date: November 22, 1952
"You young people should consider yourselves fortunate that you, in your impressionable years, have the opportunity to exchange viewpoints and ideas with those of a variety of cultural backgrounds. There is no better opportunity to acquire the life-long insights that are necessary for the resolution of international problems and conflicts.
In the hope that your endeavors have a lasting impact, I send you my warmest greetings and wishes."
