Refugees & political futures

Two-state solution

A proposed diplomatic framework envisioning two independent states—Israel and Palestine—living side by side in peace and security based on the pre-1967 borders.

Why it matters

It has been the official endorsed objective of the United Nations, the European Union, the Arab League and numerous international declarations for decades.

Key context

The framework requires addressing core permanent-status issues: borders, Jerusalem, refugees, Israeli settlements and security arrangements.
