Abstract
Steps for the continuation of the Middle East peace process are listed. In Palestine, these are: redeployment of the Israeli Defence Force in Hebron to protect the Jewish settlement but with no control over the Arab population; ending the border closure; release of Palestine prisoners; establishment of a corridor with Gaza and further Israeli redeployment establishing a Palestine state and determining the status of East Jerusalem. Progress with Syria, which implies Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights, will place severe pressure on Israeli security; the political factors affecting this are considered. The medical community, and in particular IPPNW affiliaties in the region, can contribute by cross‐boundary meetings to discuss common problems.
