Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to postulate a political structure for Israel and a Palestinian State 25-50 years from now. Design/methodology/approach -The paper speculates that a Middle East Union modeled after the EU could enable stability and prosperity on a scale not now envisioned.Findings -The paper speculates that oil will no longer be the global fuel of choice in 50 years. It is also speculated that long-and short-range missile defenses will be reliable unlike today's systems. These will create new opportunities for successful collaboration in the Middle East. Originality/value -The paper speculates that transportation, water, and power will be the key new elements of infrastructure needed to facilitate a Middle East Union. Nuclear desalination is postulated for the water and power and a light rail system connecting 15 cities in the Palestinian areas will be required.
