Answer 1

2.1 How do you think these measures influence the evolution of the Palestinian-Israel conflict?

Those measures, while being effective in making life safer in Israel, for Israeli citizens, are likely to escalate the conflict, since they represent a restriction to the right of free movement of Palestinian citizens.

2.2 What measures would you take to avoid discrimination and resolve the conflict?

The conflict is extremely complex, and many measures have been tried in the past. Most experts agree that the best solution (not necessarily the most plausible solution) is a definitive two-state division between Israel and the state of Palestine.

The problem is that Israel continues to occupy areas that are supposedly Palestinian lands, and that some of the Palestinian authorities continue to promote violence and terrorism against Israel in response to the occupation.
