Negotiators from the U.S. and Russia are considering a plan for Ukraine resembling Israeli control over the West Bank. Under this proposal, Russia would exercise military and economic governance in Ukraine, similar to Israel's control over Palestinian territories since 1967. While Ukrainian borders would remain unchanged, the situation would reflect an occupied territory model. The proposal has garnered significant media attention, leading to denial from the Trump administration regarding any discussions on such a model. Analysts have criticized the comparison, noting the complexities of sovereign rights.
Under this scenario, Russia would have military and economic control of occupied Ukraine under its own governing body, imitating Israel's de facto rule of Palestinian territory seized from Jordan in 1967.
The model is Palestine. A cursory look at the West Bank today might suggest just a few pitfalls.
If the US is thinking about Russian-occupied Ukraine as analogous to the West Bank, how are they thinking about the West Bank?
It'll just be like Israel occupies the West Bank. With a governor, with an economic situation that goes into Russia, not Ukraine.
