Annapolis Peace Settlements

This Tuesday 40 nations will arrive at the military base in Annapolis, Maryland to discuss possible war ending solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This will be the first time the United States has stepped in and organized a conference since 2000, at Camp David. Every nation will be expected to arrive except the Hamas, a military group controlling the Gaza Strip, and no one from Iran will arrive either. I think this hopefully will be a step in the right direction. Experts believe that in 2000 neither Israel or Palestine were honest in their real expectations/wants for peace. This Tuesday, hopefully the discussion of who will control Jerusalem, the Golan, Gaza Strip, and the West Bank will have, even slightly, been made more peaceful. Hopefully countries will understand where each other are coming from and we will be one step closer to peace.
