Mind, the Middle East at the moment is a terrible tangle, isn’t it?

Nobody seems to know what to do.

I don’t know why they don’t just take the three main holy cities…
What are they?
Jerusalem, Mecca and Medina, and turn them into independent city states along the lines of the Vatican City.

See, that way, they’d be autocratic – self-governing – they’d have their own police force so there’d be protected access to the holy shrines, and what have yous, and give each city state a seat on the UN Council to protect the interests of all the citizens of whatever denomination.
That way, nobody need feel that their sovereign rights to the holy shrines is being affected.

In one move, you’d take away one of the most contentious issues in the whole of the Middle East.
Perhaps even create a lasting peace.

But then again, what do I know? I’m only a typewriter.
