A Final Plea for Reason: The Dvira Plan Was Right. It's Now Israel's Last Chance.
For two years, the world has watched a genocide unfold in Gaza. We have seen the systematic dehumanization, the levelled cities, the targeted hospitals, the mass graves. We have read the reports from Al Jazeera and others, detailing the mechanics of atrocity. We have seen the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court issue rulings that echo across a hollow chamber of impunity, ignored by the perpetrator and shielded by its allies.
In November 2023, as the bombs began to fall, I drafted a series of United Nations resolution amendments and a comprehensive peace proposal called The Dvira Plan. It was an attempt to offer a solid, fair, and geographically coherent solution to a century of conflict. At the time, I was worried about saving land for Palestine.
Today, after 24 months of unrelenting violence, my fear has shifted. I am no longer worried about saving land for Palestine; the land is gone, its people systematically erased. I am now convinced that The Dvira Plan is the last chance to save the idea of Israel itself from being completely consumed by its own nihilism, and resorbed back into the Levant it has long sought to dominate.
The plan I proposed two years ago is not just a map. It is a package of essential reforms designed to break the very system of impunity that has allowed this genocide to continue. It is a diagnosis and a cure for a failed world order:
- The Hypermajority Amendment: A simple, profound change to the UN Charter to allow the Security Council to override a single hegemonic veto with a 14-vote consensus. Imagine it: a mechanism that could have stopped the bombs, allowed aid, and enforced a ceasefire two years ago, stripping away the diplomatic shield that has enabled this slaughter. It is the ultimate check on the abject failure we have witnessed from the so-called leaders of the free world.
- Suspending the Vote of the Accused: An amendment to suspend the voting rights of any member state whose leader is convicted of war crimes or crimes against humanity by the ICC. Why should an entity accused of genocide be allowed to vote on resolutions concerning that genocide? This gives teeth to international law and purges our highest bodies of the corrupting influence of perpetrators.
- Reconsidering Colonial Power: A proposal to re-examine the UK's permanent seat on the Security Council, the author of the Balfour Declaration and the failed Mandate, and offer it to an Arab nation. This is not symbolism; it is a necessary rebalancing of global power away from the failed architects of this conflict and towards those who must live with its consequences.
- Full Membership for Palestine: An immediate, unequivocal admission of the State of Palestine to the United Nations, accompanied by a formal apology from the international community for its decades of failure and complicity. Sovereignty is not a bargaining chip; it is a right.
And at its heart, The Dvira Plan itself: a vision for a sovereign, contiguous Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with a UN-protected and demilitarized corridor connecting Gaza and the West Bank, ensuring viability. It moves the separation barrier from a wall of imprisonment to an internationally recognized border of sovereignty. It offers Israel defined, secure, and legitimate borders in exchange for ending its illegal occupation.
Two years ago, this was a plan for peace. Today, it is a plan for salvage.
It is a chance for Israel to step back from the brink of becoming a permanent pariah state, an ethno-nationalist rogue entity condemned by history and its neighbors. It is a chance to accept a future of secure coexistence before its actions provoke a regional conflagration that will leave no winner.
But I must be clear. This is my final effort to advocate for this solution. The world vilifies those who offer fairness, choosing instead the comfortable binaries of blind support or empty condemnation. I will no longer attempt to advocate on behalf of an Israeli state that has so utterly rejected peace, justice, and its own humanity.
If Israel will not accept this last chance for legitimacy and peace, if it continues on its path of self-destruction and genocide, then so be it. Let it dissolve under the weight of its own crimes. Let the Gulf Cooperation Council or the Arab League, as regional stakeholders committed to stability, take over the management and administration of the Levant. It could not be a worse outcome than the hell we are witnessing today.
The Dvira Plan is on the table. It was right two years ago. It is desperately urgent today. The world does not need more thoughts and prayers; it needs courage to implement the solutions that already exist. The choice is no longer between one state or two. The choice is now between a managed, just peace and a chaotic, violent unraveling.
The time to choose is now.
