island for Palestinians in the Mediterranean Sea, Khaberni reported.

The EU is the primary source of economic aid
to the Palestinians and has a comprehensive cooperation deal with Israel, which
includes a free trade zone. Some officials secretly speculate that this may be
used to influence Israel.
A document proposed by the
EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, outlines
a series of "procedural steps" that are believed to be capable of
bringing peace to Gaza, establishing an independent Palestinian state,
normalizing relations between Israel and the Arab world, ensuring long-term
security in the region, and centered on a "peace preparatory
conference." The plan asks for the convening of "key actors,"
namely the EU, the US, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the Arab League, and the
United Nations.
Participants will be in constant contact with
Israeli and Palestinian officials, referred to as “conflict parties,” but the
two sides will not initially be required to sit with each other. Gaza and the
West Bank will be represented by the
Palestinian Authority (PA) and the
Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) rather than Hamas, which has governed
Gaza since 2007.
In light of these talks, Israeli officials
attempted to convince the EU to build an island for Palestinians and establish
a Palestinian state there, acting as a weak attempt to deport the nation.
