Refers to the notion of establishing a sovereign Palestinian state alongside a sovereign State of Israel. Has been the most accepted framework in Palestinian-Israeli peace talks since the Oslo Process began in 1993, though some deem this solution to be impossible now due to the expansion of Jewish Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Key disputed issues for a two-state solution include: the actual boundaries of a nascent contemporary Palestine; the location of its capital; the nature of government; the type of economic relations with its neighbors; the handling of Palestinian refugees seeking repatriation to Israel and/or Palestine or compensation by Israel; the degree of access to natural resources as well as control over borders; the contiguity of land; defense matters and air space; Israel’s final borders and jurisdiction; access to and control over Jerusalem’s holy sites by both states; the status of Israel’s settlements.
