Abstract

For almost 80 years, since the UN General Assembly's 1947 decision to create two distinct states in Palestine—one for Jews and the other for Arabs, as outlined in the Partition Plan—the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians has persisted. Recent escalations have led to violent clashes, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent civilians on both sides. In this context, my paper outlines a framework for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, focusing on the peace agreement and its significant international implications. The project addresses key issues such as borders, refugees, settlements, Jerusalem, and resources, and emphasizes potential resolutions to these challenges. It also proposes a solution to the Palestinian political and security forces’ inability to prevent violent attacks against Israel. The new plan requires the non-negotiable acceptance of interim administration by the UN and NATO for the new state of Palestine. This proposal establishes conditions for a democratic Palestinian state within modified pre-1967 borders, under UN and NATO oversight for security and development, as a pathway to full independence. Additionally, the peace plan offers security guarantees for Israel.
