A One-State Solution to the Arab- Israeli/Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: A Recommendation Supported by a Review of the Historical Record and Current Context

Authors

Samuel Horowitz

Abstract

This article examines the legal underpinning of the creation of the state of Israel and historical documents to note that despite calls for a two-state solution at the UN, a one-state solution to the conflict is not necessarily precluded. It then identifies why both the status quo and the proposed two state solution are problematic and untenable. Lastly, it looks to the example of South Africa because of similarities between South Africa and modern day Israel/Palestine. It concludes that the creation of a single state, following the example of post-apartheid South Africa, is the only solution to the conflict that will create a comprehensive, just, durable, and lasting peace for Palestinians and Israelis.
