One Land, Two States

Imagines a vision for Israel and Palestine in a situation where the peace process has failed to deliver an end of conflict. Exploring themes of security, resistance, diaspora, globalism, and religion, this book offers ideas for the resolution of conflicts worldwide.

Description

One Land, Two States imagines a new vision for Israel and Palestine in a situation where the peace process has failed to deliver an end to the conflict. The book asks, "If the land cannot be shared by geographical division, and if a one-state solution remains unacceptable, can the land be shared in some other way?"

Leading Palestinian and Israeli experts, along with international diplomats and scholars, address this timely question by examining a scenario with two parallel state structures. These structures would cover the whole territory between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River, enabling shared rather than competing claims of sovereignty.

This political architecture would radically transform the nature and stakes of the Israel-Palestine conflict. It would allow Israelis to remain in the West Bank while maintaining their security position, enable Palestinians to settle in all of historic Palestine, and transform Jerusalem into a capital for both peoples with full equality and independence—all without disturbing the demographic balance of each state.

By exploring themes of security, resistance, diaspora, globalism, and religion, along with forms of political and economic power that do not rely on claims of exclusive territorial sovereignty, this pioneering book offers new ideas for the resolution of conflicts worldwide.

One Land, Two States has been well-received for its imaginative and daring approaches to Israeli-Palestinian coexistence.
