Refugees & political futures

One-state solution

A conceptual framework proposing a single democratic state between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea with equal citizenship and political rights for all residents.

Why it matters

It is increasingly discussed given the expansion of settlements and the perceived non-viability of a separate contiguous Palestinian state.

Key context

Models range from a unitary democratic state to bi-national federations or confederations. Discussions emphasize equal civil, political and human rights regardless of ethnicity or religion.
