Introduction: The Israeli Palestinian conflict teeters on the precipice of decision. Overlooking the historical struggle we see the state of Israel trapped in a mortal embrace with its neighbours. With the diminishing influence of the United States power on international actors, Israel is losing legitimacy as a regional hawk, and is approaching a crucial point of ripeness in the mutually hurting stalemate that has continued for the past half a century. Thus, as the United States international power wains, so too does Israel's best alternative to a negotiated agreement (BATNA) with Palestine. The backing of Israel by the United States has allowed the conflict to continue with minimal Israel concessions and maximum Palestinian losses. Yet, this decline in the United States influence is shifting. Thus, the conflict has reached a historical bargaining period of ripeness, where neither party can achieve its own maximalist demands without then being impacted by the overwhelmingly harmful consequences. Conclusion: The Israel-Palestine conflict has been a struggle between changing global powers, public political awakening, failed arbitration and failed negotiations. In order to find a more perfect and just solution Hans Morgenthau's nine basic rules of diplomacy must be met. The United States has a vital role to play as the agents of a peace progress initiative, and encouraging the structural violence in Gaza and the West Bank to recede. There are aspects of the conflict that are rooted in ancient history but it is with the people of this generation that will ultimately guide the change. The BATNA's are falling into place. Maximalist and minimalist initiatives are aligning, and the mutually hurting stalemate is ripening. The global community is adapting their own universal conceptions of justice and like never before applying them to the particular issues at hand. A solution will emerge. A grand bargain will be met. It is only required that we continue to move toward action, to stand against injustice where ever we see it, in a new alliance of an awakened and enlightened global community.
