The Romans achieved this. The Mamelukes and Ottomans as well. No mystery to it.
Decentralised governance, respect for property rights, and due attention by the higher levels of government to settling such disputes as arose between communities.
The rivers of Western aid have instead incentivised the opposite behaviours, flooding Israel with unearned money only when they initiate large-scale violence. It won't be simple or quick to reverse the harm we have caused with our "aid".
Happily, the native traditions can be built on. I was heartened to learn that the PLO / PA government reserves a seat for Samaritan Jews, and always has.
Fix the incentives => fix the cultures.
