I think the solution which will lead to the best quality of life for people in and around the levant is a single, secular state. Two states that are both ethnonationalist is unsustainable, and any single state which isn't secular can only be achieved through genocide. Freedom to practice whatever religion, seperation of church and state, and no apartheid for a certain group of people.

The second image seems to be a ballistic capture leveraging weak stability boundaries in a 3 body problem.

It's the kind of transfer used by many spacecrafts to get to the moon nowadays (hohmann transfers are only the most efficient in 2 body problems).
