it in spirit and in practice, in as much as it satisfies the basic national aspirations and does not offend national dignity and honor.

98. In the existing situation, there is no solution but the one based on the principle of "Two states for two peoples," meaning peaceful coexistence in two independent states, Israel and Palestine.

99. The idea voiced sometimes that it is possible and desirable to replace the two-state with a one-state solution in all the territory between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan, either as a

bi-national or non-national state, is unrealistic. The vast majority of Israelis will not agree to the dismantling of the State of Israel, much as the vast majority of Palestinians will not give up the establishment of a national state of their own. This illusion is also dangerous, since it undermines the struggle for the two-state solution, which can be realized in the foreseeable future, in favor of an idea that has no chance of realization in the coming decades. This illusion can also be misused as a pretext for the existence and extension of the settlements. If a joint state were set up, it would become a battlefield, with one side fighting to establish its supremacy by the expulsion of the other side.

100. The new peace camp must formulate a peace plan based on the following principles:

a. The occupation will come to an end. An independent and

viable Palestinian state will be established alongside Israel.

b. The Green Line will be the border between the State of Israel and the State of Palestine. Limited exchanges of territory will be possible only by mutual agreement, arrived at in free

negotiations, and on the basis of 1:1.

c. All Israeli settlers will be evacuated from the territory of the State of Palestine, and the settlements turned over to returning refugees.

d. The border between the two states will be open to the movement of people and goods, subject to arrangements made by

mutual agreement.

e. Jerusalem will be the capital of both states. West Jerusalem will be the capital of Israel and East Jerusalem the capital of

Palestine. The State of Palestine will have complete sovereignty over East Jerusalem, including the Haram al-Sharif (Temple

Mount). The State of Israel will have complete sovereignty over West Jerusalem, including the Western Wall and the Jewish

Quarter. The two states will reach agreement on the unity of the city at the municipal level.
