What lead to a truce in Northern Ireland? It seems the same sort of troubles.
Could it apply in the ME?

No; for several reasons.

1. "Palestine" has no history of local or "national" government that works- only local and regional 'gangs.' As the recent 'truce' demonstrated, who would you negotiate with? Two 'local' Palestinian groups 'opted out' of the truce.

2. NI has no recent history of "vendetta;" if anything, the IRA was 'socialistic' based on the Soviet model- certainly far more civilized than the Arabs. Even the other muslims are (more or less more civilized). Remember, you are dealing with a 14th century mentality.

There were a lot of reasons for peace in NI, including the drying up of support, the 'exhaustion' of the Catholic population, etc. But, NI had no history of 80 year old grandmothers strapping HE to their bodies and blowing themselves up just to take out a few Israelis (as happened recently) or 14 year old, mentally defective boys being instructed to do the same (as happened less recently).
