Stop the Destruction of Rafa

Israel has decided it must destroy Rafa. Why? Because it must stop the missiles and rockets and weapons from reaching Hamas via these tunnels.

Israel now knows about the hundreds of tunnels that Hamas has built under Gaza. But it also knows that there are equally hundreds of tunnels under the Egypt side of the Rafah crossing and that is how Hamas replenishes its weapons stocks. Because there is a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt, Israel cannot attack the tunnels from the Egyptian side.

But it knows these tunnels used to smuggle in the weapons have to be destroyed. Israel has decided that they have to destroy them from the RAFA side which means creating over another million refugees and destroying thousands of Gazan homes.

This destruction can be stopped quickly if the international community and Americans intervene to get a new treaty between Egypt and Israel whereby Egypt grants Israel full rights to an area of land 50 miles deep along the Gazan border. This would mean that Israel could blow up all the tunnels supplying the weapons to Hamas without having to destroy Rafa and create more refugees.

With an area of land 50 miles deep changing from Egypt to Israel the destruction of the tunnels can be accomplished without further loss of life to Gazans and Israelis. The Peace which has lasted over 40 years with Egypt can be preserved and Egypt can save face and claim total ignorance of the existence of the tunnels which is a major cause of the Hamas attacks on Israel.

Introduction

This is the only plan likely to produce a permanent peace between Israel and the Palestinians. The catalyst for the success of the plan are the 450,000 Gazan refugees living in tents with their homes in GAZA destroyed.

For the plan to work it needs Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia and his GEOM plan to agree with King Abdullah 11 of Jordan and produce an immediate proclamation. The Balfour Declaration was made in 1917 but it took until 1948 for it to come into existence. But it fulfilled the hopes of the Jewish people that there was a future.

The Gazan refugees need a similar declaration to give them HOPE so that the fighting can stop now, and all parties can work towards the same end- a permanent home for the Palestinians.

The Book is in several parts. For those impatient, there is a set of slides at the end of the book. As you go through the slides, questions will spring immediately into your minds. Do not think that the same questions did not spring into my mind. But I have also tried to answer them in this book. So, work your way through it and if you come to the same conclusion as I did, then what you need to do, will be set out in the book.

WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS THAT THE SHERRINGTON PLAN SEEKS TO SOLVE?

1. THE PALESTINIAN ISRAEL CONFLICT

The recent war In Gaza and the displacement of so many Gazans has screamed out for a new plan which will stop the conflict which has been going on for over 78 years.

After the massacre of Israelis on October 7th 2023 by Hamas backed by Iran, the Israelis decided NO MORE! We are going to destroy Hamas come what may and stop these constant attacks on Israelis.

But everyone is asking what happens when the war stops?

The answer is in this Sherrington Plan.

I wrote my first edition of the Sherrington Plan in 2018.

The overall plan has not changed. But the need for it to be implemented and how it should be implemented is contained in this edition.

This conflict has been going on since 1948, and it is about time a real solution was found. The major problem is the conflict is over the same piece of land. Many American presidents have tried to bring peace with what is called the Two State Solution. But this has never worked because it divides up a land which both parties regard as theirs.

The only solution is to find another piece of land over which there would be no conflict. To satisfy the Palestinians it must be in Palestine. Before 1917, Palestine was the land on both the West Bank and the East bank of the river Jordan. The East Bank is now called Jordan, but historically it has been Palestine for centuries.

Before the return of Jews to Palestine in the early 1900’s the land on both sides of the Jordan were similar.

They were according to the book written by Mark Twain who took a party of Christian American Pilgrims to visit Europe and the Middle East: "I visited Palestine in 1867 and described it as a barren wasteland in my book ‘Innocents Abroad’.

But within Israel a lot of development has taken place and the land is now well cultivated and restored to its origin fertility when that area centuries ago, was known as part of the Fertile Crescent.

The development in Israel has demonstrated that it is possible to convert desert land into arable land provided you can bring water to the plants. The way water can be brought to the area is by desalination, but first you need to have sea water to desalinate. We need to build a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea to solve the other problems referred to in this Sherrington Plan.

2. THE DISAPPEARING DEAD SEA

The Dead Sea which lies between Jordan and Israel is evaporating so fast that it has almost disappeared. There have been plans to try to refill it for the last 20 years but none of them seem to be succeeding. The Dead Sea is important to both the economies of Jordan and Israel. There is a plan to build a pipeline from the Red Sea at Aqaba (Eilat) to the Dead Sea, but it lacks support from Israel because it is exclusively within Jordan.

3. JORDAN WATER SHORTAGE

Jordan has a chronic water shortage largely caused by Climate change which is causing droughts in the whole of the area previously known as the Fertile Crescent. Israel has solved the problem by building desalination plants converting sea water into drinking water on a massive scale. Jordan cannot do this as it is landlocked except for the port of Aqaba which is remote from the rest of Jordan.

4. SUEZ CANAL DEPENDENCY

The Suez Canal is the main artery for all goods coming from Asia to Europe but when it gets blocked chaos ensues as recently happened in 2022 when a large container vessel got caught in the banks and blocked the canal for a week. The blockage was estimated to cost $9 billion a day to world trade. An alternative canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea would create a whole new economic development area.

5. DEVELOPMENT OF THE ISRAEL NEGEV

The Negev in the South of Israel is a desolate area of Israel larger in area than most of the inhabited parts of Israel. The Israeli government has a policy of developing the Negev but it is a slow grind. The building of a canal along the border of Israel and Jordan would provide water which can be desalinated and used to convert the wilderness into fertile land as was done in Gush Katif, an area of Gaza developed by Israeli settlers in 1967 and repeated much more recently at Moshav Hatseva, itself in the Negev.

Moshav Hatseva in the most desolate part of the ARAVA is showing the world how to recapture the desert and turn it into a fertile and prosperous area. You drive along and all you see is desert and then climb a hill and suddenly an oasis of agricultural produce hits you. A modern miracle development by the agronomist scientists of Moshav Hatseva. This is a live demonstration of how the land bordering the new Canal
