The people of the United Arab Emirates find the ways the international community could address concerns with “buffer zones” illegal to enforce border control. Israel does have a motive for settlement construction; the motive is that settling that new area brought by the six days war could bring millions of dollars in revenue, the United Arab Emirates. This motive could be addressed through bringing border control, so the Israeli government can build whatever best suits their interest. The people of the United Arab Emirates say no to a moratorium on new settlement construction. A moratorium on new settlement construction would only delay integration into the “buffer zones” and promotes illegal settlement; nor on certain settlements should a moratorium take place, because it would have the same outcomes or repercussions. A “land-swap” would not be a suitable solution, because a “land-swap” would result in Israeli and Palestinian conflict in determining “land-swap” borders. The people of the United Arab Emirates find that the international community could address the political and social issue of the West Bank by placing border control in the West Bank to enforce settlement laws. The Palestinians human rights aren’t being violated or infringed upon because the Palestine’s must learn to abide by the new borders brought by the Six Days war and settle laws.This again could be enforced by border control if settlers can not adjust to the new boders and their laws.
