Yes, the tourism revenue-sharing idea is a good one. Better still, don't share the revenue between the two governments but much more locally, on a municipal or individual basis, so that people could feel both the benefit and the loss. Because otherwise Hamas and Fatah would have every incentive to keep the money, buy weapons, and just up their price to their Arab and Iranian sponsors - telling them, look here, if you want more jihad (which we know you do), you need to replace the tourism revenue. Hamas doesn't want peace because it has no reason for being in peace; its entire raison d'etre is war. Fatah seems so mired in total corruption that it can't adapt to anything. If it hasn't changed or reform in reaction to the loss of Gaza, and reports say it hasn't, then it's probably unreformable.
