The two-state solution is a proposed diplomatic solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The proposal envisions an independent State of Palestine that borders Israel. Palestinian leadership has supported the concept since the 1982 Arab Summit in Fez. In 2017 the Hamas (a Palestinian Resistance movement that controls the Gaza strip) accepted the solution without recognizing Israel as a state. The current Israeli leadership has stated that a two-state solution can only exist without Hamas and the current Palestinian leadership. The U.S. would have to take a central role in any talks bet…

Only if the state of Israel relinquishes its army and nuclear weapons. Otherwise I support a one-state solution consisting of only Palestine.
@9KR9FBT2yrs2Y
I would have before 7th October, but now it is clear that Hamas is baiting Israel to attack them to look like the victims
@B4M7N28 1yr1Y
I will never understand how people use 7th October as a benchmark for the conflict, but somehow ignore not only the decades of oppression before hand, but the fact that palestinians had one of their deadliest years in recent times during January 2023 to September 2023, many fatalities of which were in the west bank, where there is no hamas and israel are committing unspeakable war crimes there. To ignore all of that just to acknowledge the 1 attack on israel on the 7th October shows as a humanity we are capable of any atrocity, no matter how progressive things seem.
Yes, but it may be too late. Israel does not need to exist as a separate nation for any national or historical ties to the region to be valid
@9QHYCK9Independent2yrs2Y
I support a completely free Palestine, residents of Israel should return to Europe and the United States of America
@9Q8P56TConservative2yrs2Y
Yes, it should at least be tried. Ok, historically it's been reputed but surely it's worth trying again to try and stop this genocide.
@9TRZHF62yrs2Y
I support Palestine. Israel should be abolished as it’s an illegal settlement built on the blood and bodies of the natives who have lived and thrived in Palestine for the past 200+ years. I only support a one state solution - Palestine.
@9R4N93V2yrs2Y
No the oppression from israel and what they are doing is a war crime so we must destroy israel but hamas has to stand down
No, I only support a free Palestine and end to illegal occupation and Zionist apartheid
@9P6LYBDConservative2yrs2Y
Yes, Israel was a construct by the US government to give Jewish people a "homeland". 2 countries should exist Palestine and Israel, and neither should have their current leadership in power.
@9LTFPNB2yrs2Y
I believe the Israeli occupation should be eradicated and for the land to be returned rightfully to the Palestinians. Illegal Israeli settlers should return to their countries of origin.
@9LF7GNY2yrs2Y
No, sever all diplomatic ties with Israel and support a 1 Palestinian state solution.
One-state solution that dissolves apartheid structures in Israeli law, constitution and society, and invites a right of return for displaced Palestinians. Heavy disarmament of Israeli settlers, disbanding/restructuring of the IDF and concurrent disarmament of Palestinian fighting groups.
@9Q2L2G82yrs2Y
In theory yes. However, I do not believe that in practice a two-state solution would ever be a satisfactory solution to the belligerents.
@9P2MNVRLiberal Democrat2yrs2Y
Yes, but Israel should be forced to return all land stolen with the proviso that Palestine is a true democracy and nobody involved with terrorism is involved in leadership of any part of the country. This should be overseen by The UN .
@BCSL22Y1wk1W
I am Israeli. Jews and Palestinians (and other naturalized citizens should all live in one country and have no segregation
@BBHVBS22mos2MO
Yes, but I would still prefer it if Jerusalem were an independent UN-monitored state separate from the two.
@B7JR4RV7mos7MO
It should just be Palestine. Israel should not exist. palestine should be a secular state where christians, muslims and jews can live together. we can do it in the uk so they should do it there
@B754K4S7mos7MO
Israel must be held to account for their intentional genocide against the people of Palestine. Palestine should be made a recognised state.
@B6WVB9F8mos8MO
Give equal rights and end the genocide and the apartheid state. Stop killing children and stop Israel from committing war crimes.
@B63MRRM9mos9MO
No, there should not be a Palestinian state until extremist groups such as Hamas and Fatah have been eradicated, and more reforms are made to separate fundamentalist Islamic ideology from their government. Essentially, a secular state.
@B4XF2HW12mos12MO
I support a one-state solution with equality of all citizens and power-sharing between both major communities.
No the Israeli state is to damaging to the stability of the region and it's continuation will only result in more conflicts.
@B5RLN7F11mos11MO
I support a two state solution but with Israeli dominance but with a main aim in rebuilding Gaza and rehabilitating Gazan citizens. Hamas however should also be labelled as a terrorist organisation.
@B5GJRYX11mos11MO
A Two state solution is an achievable start goal - but the just conclusion is a single binational democratic Palestinian state from the river to the sea.
Yes, but only if it is viable, and the Palestinians are looking for peace. Otherwise it should not be considered if they'll keep on commiting terror attacks against Israel.
@9ZVGNW91yr1Y
No, a two state solution would lead to further conflict down the line. I support a one state solution where Palestinians and Israeli's are free and equal
@9ZS952Y1yr1Y
I support a two state solution but it's not our place to interfere with foreign wars which don't concern us. Nobody from the Middle East cared about the Troubles in Ireland, so why should I care about the Middle East
@9XSXYJY 1yr1Y
As long as terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah are destroyed, and there are is no risk to innocent civilians and everyone's rights are respected.
@9WQKFWK1yr1Y
I believe Israel and Palestine should decide for themselves, whoever wins the war is just how it goes.
@9WMK3SC1yr1Y
I support a one state Palestinian nation, where everyone of Palestinian descent pre foreign Jewish immigration gets to live side by side, no matter if they are Palestinian Muslim, Jewish or Christian or the other minor religions. Everyone involved in war crimes in "Israel" should be kicked out.
@9SBTMJP2yrs2Y
No, but we are tolerant to the two state solution, while we accept and encourage there to be a one state solution so that there is validity in the global system given Israel's actions in the past. Don't encourage a one state solution if Israel apologises now after a demand to apologise and stop the war.
@9R4RSQT2yrs2Y
I believe that the people in the Levantine area should unite and live peacefully as they were previously
@9QWTN5M2yrs2Y
No, The Palestibian Authority is clearly not interested in 2 states and has refused every previous offer. Israel under a 1 state is the best thing for the region
@9QG7M3V2yrs2Y
They should be give full autonomy to decide to what they want. Even it if means taking back what is rightfully theirs through international agreement and monitored by international neutral forces
@9PYMJNJ2yrs2Y
In theory it would be good, but in practice I do not think any solution other than a final solution would bring about an end to the cycle of violence and repression. And no-one should want a final solution.
@9PS8TZ72yrs2Y
No, Israel should not given sovereign rights to Palestinian land. But due to the way things have played out a two-state solution is the only way forward
@9N2N3KL 2yrs2Y
Before we start considering whether there should be a two-state solution there needs to be an immediate ceasefire and people who have committed war crimes should be arrested and charged for their crimes
@9M62NM22yrs2Y
A two-state solution must be supported by both sides and only Israel is willing to support it. Gaza was an attempt at a two-state solution, created by Israel ordering its own citizens to leave and funded by billions of dollars of aid from the West. The Palestinians voted-in Hamas (a proscribed terrorist organisation), and Hamas used the aid funding to build their terrorist network of tunnels, armaments and terrorist fighters and proceeded to launch attack after attack Israel for nearly two decades. A two-state solution has failed.
No, one state, which was and should still be Palestine; for the Jews, Muslims, and everyone in totality
I support a co-state solution with local control bi-national legal structure and a power sharing system for supranational issues. Jerusalem should be declared a international frees State and co-capital.
@9K363PZ2yrs2Y
I support a two state solution if the Palestinians cannot get their full rights under a single state, like the current regime of Israel.
@9JVG28F2yrs2Y
Yes, if both sides are satisfied with that outcome, but we all know that whilst Gaza is run by a terrorist organisation, the people of Gaza don't have a choice in this, Hamas is never going to agree to anything and Israel isn't going to back down.
@9N2KRDJ2yrs2Y
I don’t feel I understand the situation enough to have a solution. Though I would like to see an end to the conflict.
@9M76S9L2yrs2Y
support a secular one state solution with equal rights and voting power for both israelis and palestinians
@9LGLXFF2yrs2Y
Consociationalism as a transition government (like in Northern Ireland now) before the establishment of a single secular state.
@9L93RJ92yrs2Y
I do think that at two-state solution would be the only viable solution that does not violate human rights and would prevent the genocide from continuing. I do think that this would prove challenging as both sides have had casualties and tensions are really high, but I think that this is the only diplomatic solution, as I don't believe the need to displace any nationalities, specifically Palestinians.
@9L879JS2yrs2Y
it's hard to have a stance on this but ISRALE was given back to the jewish people because of abrhamic scripture
this is one of the oldest faiths and we need more understanding of what "FAITH" is not rejecting god this country shouldn't reject god but it should be your choice.
but when you weaponize a people in to hate of another people based on things their own installed government does
don't be a fool we all know HAMAS is really CIA because who benefits from it?
if you can't rationalize america as a THREAT under rule of tyrany then you haven't been paying attention
also to the assessor if you are of faith be understanding not offended.
@9KR4C9W2yrs2Y
Palestine is not a state, there is only Israel, resettle the Arabs into neighbouring Jordan and Egypt as pre-1967 these were the territories of those countires
@9K363PZ2yrs2Y
Yes, I support a two state solution if the Palestinians cannot get their full rights under a single state, like the current regime of Israel.
@9P29HB42yrs2Y
Yes, but with a long term plan to return to 1967 borders, a neutral corridor between Gaza and West Bank, and designation of Jerusalem as a neutral, international city.
@9PSRPKB2yrs2Y
A two state solution, only once Hamas is totally destroyed, Iran withdraw from terrorising Israel and democracy can be built in the land given to Palestine.
