The End of the Two State Solution

Israel stressed its full support for the two State solution articulated in the Road Map.

Expressing its concern that continuing Israeli settlement activity undermines the realization of a two State solution,

These destroy our present, our future and the possibility of peace between the two sides and of the implementation of a two State solution.

The withdrawal from Gaza was a first step towards the realization of the vision of the two State solution.

He also sought to undermine the principle of a two State solution, speaking with approval of a proposal to establish a bi national Palestinian State.

The best prospect for such a peace remains a two State solution that will ensure Israel's security and provide for a viable and stable Palestinian State.

Lastly, the construction of the wall undermined the right to self determination and rendered the two State solution virtually impossible.

My delegation supports the vision of a two State solution, with Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security.

Australia urged all sides to sustain their efforts towards a two State solution involving an independent, democratic and viable Palestinian State which respected Israel's security and right to exist.

The Quartet strongly reiterated its commitment to the two state solution, and to Israeli withdrawal as a way to re energize the Roadmap.

Our shared goal remains the realization of a two State solution Israel and a democratic, viable and territorially contiguous State of Palestine, living side by side in peace and security.

A New State Solution for Israel and Palestine

The leaders also affirm that peace between Palestinians and Israelis can be brought about only through a two State solution based on the 1967 borders.

The implementation of the road map and a negotiated two State solution would allow an independent, sovereign and territorially contiguous Palestinian State to exist side by side with Israel in peace and security.

The Committee expresses its hope for the immediate resumption of negotiations between the two parties and for the full implementation of the Quartet's road map for the achievement of the two State solution and the achievement of a comprehensive, just and lasting solution to the question of Palestine.

Meanwhile, the tenuous status quo in Israel and Palestine is crumbling. With a two state solution less likely than ever, the area is likely to experience the creeping consolidation of a one state reality.

With its wall, Israel was also unilaterally defining the permanent borders of a future Palestinian State that would have neither territorial integrity nor territorial contiguity a two State solution would thus be nearly impossible.

The continued construction of the wall, expansion of settlements and changes to the character of Jerusalem had serious implications for a two State solution, as they undermined the possibility for Palestinians to build a viable State.

The broader implementation of the road map and the eventual realization of the two State solution, as outlined in Security Council resolution 1397 (2002), must remain the goal.

The paradox of the current violence in Israel, Gaza, and Lebanon is that the solution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict is not hard to see. A large majority of Israelis and Palestinians favor a two state solution essentially along the pre 1967 boundaries.

That peace between Palestinians and Israelis can come about only through a two State solution based on the 1967 borders, a just and agreed solution to the problem of the refugees in accordance with United Nations resolution 194, and security for both sides

Recalling also the Quartet road map to a permanent two State solution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict, and noting specifically its call for a freeze on all settlement activity,

I'm going to talk about two architects very, very briefly that represent the current split, architecturally, between these two traditions of a technocratic or technological solution and a romantic solution.

It could, in effect, pave the way for the new Obama administration to convene an international conference to implement the two state solution for Palestine, which should follow the ceasefire. Such initiatives should not become bogged down in tortuous negotiations, but should focus on implementing the basic principles for a two state solution, along the lines proposed by the Clinton administration before it left office eight years ago.

The newly revised 2005 edition of the smaller booklet, UN in Brief, also highlighted United Nations efforts to promote a peaceful resolution of the situation through a two State solution.

Our ultimate goal remains an agreed solution between the two parties.

But, if Israelis and Palestinians share a vital interest in a two state solution, they have very different interests, and therefore mean very different things when referring to the same issues.

Although Israel's unilateral withdrawal from Gaza was viewed as a positive move, it was not in conformity with the road map, which offered the only realistic and viable two State solution.

The Israeli withdrawal was an important step towards ending the Israeli occupation and establishing a two State solution, in accordance with the road map for peace and relevant United Nations resolutions.

A negotiated land for peace solution still remains official Western doctrine. As US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton put it in a recent speech, a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace has to be based on two states for two peoples.

Israel s strategic response would normally be that it aspires to be a Jewish democratic state, which presupposes a Jewish majority. But if the never ending peace process continues to fail to produce a two state solution, how can Israel avoid the reality of a single state in a continuous state of civil war?

Public opinion polls have consistently shown that the majority of Israelis and Palestinians want peace (not a peace process) based on a two state solution. Almost every learned pundit, expert, or politician in the Middle East and around the world knows pretty much what a solution to the conflict would look like a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with slight land swaps and an equitable negotiated solution of the Palestinian refugee issue.

With peace plans and envoys coming and going, Israelis and Palestinians alike have finally become blasé about the chances of a final settlement. The two state solution is rapidly losing its appeal.

Her delegation particularly objected to the criticism of the Quartet's efforts to facilitate a two State solution and felt that such criticism undermined the United Nations role as part of that Quartet.

In fact, a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders is exactly what US President Barack Obama has called for. Similarly, the European Union has long advocated a two state solution, with Palestine being established on areas occupied by Israel in 1967.
