Most of the approaches to peace between Israel and the Palestinians, have been directed at trying to resolve the most complex problems, like refugees and Jerusalem, which is akin to building the pyramid from the top down.

Summary

This quote implies that most attempts to achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians have focused on addressing the most challenging issues, such as the status of refugees and Jerusalem, without first establishing a strong foundation. The analogy of building a pyramid from the top down suggests that this approach may not be effective or sustainable. It implies that peace negotiations should instead start with addressing fundamental issues and building a solid groundwork before tackling more complex matters.
