How about bringing the Palestine Issue to the International Court of Justice at the Hague? As I see it, the problem is basically that of conflicting territorial claim over Palestine.
Present day Jews claim that Palestine is theirs based on Biblical verse of more that 2,500 years ago. Genesis 17:8 says " Also I give you and your descendents after you, the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan (Palestine) as an ever lasting possession and I will be their God" The accuracy of the verse however cannot be acertained because the Bible has been rewritten and retranslated many times over the years.
The original text of the offer above, is also found in the Quran whose authority cannot be doubted. In al-Maidah Verse 21 " O my people! Enter the holy land (Palestine) which God has promised you, but do not turn back on your faith, for then you would be lost" The offer is conditional in nature "Do not turn back on your faith" In this, both the Quran and the Bible agree that the Jews (Israelites) did turn back on their faith. Some of them reverted to idol worshiping a few generations after the demise of Moses
If the Jews could base their claim on Biblical verse, why can't the Muslims do the same, based on Quranic verse. Barack Hussein Obama, being a lawyer, should consider this.
