@uchennaabosi7651 Funny that. The UN has one of its longest-running peacekeeping missions in the region, UNIFIL, which has lasted for 45 years. 47 countries contribute 10,000 or so UN peacekeepers. Which some optimism, UNIFIL can be called a meagre success as in preventing worse. At best, it can keep Israel out of Lebanon, but it can't prevent cross-border aggression. Admittedly, while UNIFIL is in Lebanon, the other adversary beside Israel, Hezbollah, is very similar to Hamas both in tactics, affiliation, and hatred for Israel. In your idealistic 'New Palestine', UN peacekeepers would face an impossible task keeping the peace. Two states, not one state.
