Would King Charles III be hailed if he fixed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

[Suburbia]

Charles is not popular, never will be. I personally think he will be the LAST British monarch.

Didn't Britain create the Israeli-Palestinian crisis? They should fix it....and Charles being in the public image state he is in should work with the UK government and US government and find a MidEast peace deal once and for all....

He'd be useful for once.

Excellent idea. Real Britons are chomping at the bit for him to convert to Catholicism, convince Francis to announce the 10th crusade ("I swear it will work this time") and unite Israelis and Palestinians against us.

Charles the Lionheart can simply invade Cyprus, and solve the crisis there as well. (Although hed better hope Andrew doesn't try and usurp power while he's away).

History repeats itself!

It's a serious question. Why doesn't Britain help fix the problem they helped create, especially in the 20th century when Britain controlled Palestine until 1948.

Is it accurate to say that the British "created" the Israeli Palestinian conflict?

[Torrain]

I’m afraid there’s just not space in His Majesty’s schedule to bring peace to the Middle East this year.

The King is committed to ending world hunger in 2023, and 2024 is taken up with getting the manned Mars programme off the ground. There might be some free time in 2025, but I hear there’s talk of him being brought onboard to get nuclear fusion back on-track.

The only way I could see this is if there were a second Scottish independence referendum and the pro-independence side won - which doesn't seem especially likely right now. Because then he would cease to be the British monarch and just be the English monarch. And heck, even then there might still be a personal union with him as King of Scotland as well; not really sure how Scotland would vote on a republic referendum.

Yes......

I see where you're coming from, but I don't think either side would appreciate the idea of a British monarch (of all people) meddling in their affairs, even if his heart is in the right place.

I also question the commonly accepted idea that the British are primarily to blame for the dispute over the holy land. They certainly made matters worse by making untenable promises to both sides, but the real catalyst of the conflict, I would argue, was the advent of the Zionist movement in the 1890s (before British rule). And I say this as someone who generally supports Israel - but the very idea of a Jewish state in the holy land made the conflict inevitable. Like, I just can't envision a scenario where the local majority-Arab population would have willingly conceded their land to people who they saw as outsiders, nor do I see a scenario where the Jewish population would have wanted to set up the Israeli state anywhere other than their ancestral homeland (and even if far-fetched ideas like a Jewish state in Madagascar had been realized, there would have been ethnic conflict, because a Jewish state anywhere other than the holy land would have even less of a claim to legitimacy).

Maybe there's an alternate universe where no Jewish state exists, which would mean this conflict would never happen. Maybe if the holocaust never happened, Jews would just be a minority population scattered around the world with no state of their own. But the Holocaust deeply traumatized Jews (and non-Jews for that matter) around the world and strengthened the case for a Jewish state.

I thought Jared Kushner already did that.

Jared Kushner's name will appear in the history books as the man who forever solved the conflicts between Israelis and Palestinians.
They will put up a statue up in his honor in Jerusalem.

[All Along The Watchtower]

Anyway it would seem the major conflict at the moment is between the Israelis and their Prime Minister.

Would Charles be hailed if he dismissed Bibi and invited Lapid to the Palace to kiss hands?

Would he be hailed more or less if he did it to Bibi than if he did it to Sunak?

Would Lapid becoming Britain's second Jewish PM be terrible news for Ed Miliband?

I was told that Tony Blair was going to do it after he left office. Its only 16 years ago now.

He and Bill Clinton were both supposed to do it dammit! Just like they single-handedly solved Northern Ireland.
