A cantonal solution - perhaps something along the Swiss model, but with even less centralisation - has been frequently suggested, possibly with an independent canton of Jerusalem serving also as capital of the Confederation. Internationally guaranteed and perhaps, in the initial stages, with some kind of international policing component. Looked at from outside, "objectively", such a structure seems to offers much of the freedoms and safeguards demanded by both sides. In this sense, Gadaffi's suggestion does have merit (even if the circumstances were somewhat bizarre http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article6849070.ece).
However, the issues involved are not approached in the area primarily from a rational point of view.
