"A war starts between Israel and her Arab neighbours. After initial gains by the Israeli army, the odds turn when Turkey and Iran declare war on Israel. China and other world powers impose a ceasefire. After a few months a comprehensive peace treaty is signed and three years later the last Israeli soldier is withdrawn from occupied Palestinian and Syrian territories. A viable Palestinian state is born, together with a Middle East Economic Community. At long last there is a genuine opportunity for sustainable peace and development to flourish in the region, extending from Istanbul to Cairo, Tel Aviv and Ramallah, and from Amman and Beirut to Damascus, Baghdad and Teheran."
