Palestine –Israel: Two State Solutions

Robert Malley, who was a special assistant to President Bill Clinton for Arab-Israeli affairs suggested the US government to rethink on peace negotiations in middle-east. He further said, the negotiation team shall emphasizes on two issues; i. Rights to return for Palestinian; and ii. Rights to exist for Israeli.

From strategic and human rights perspective, both demand is equally important and shall be given top priority on peace negotiations. However I believe, accepting the “rights to exist” while denying the independent Palestine state will not end the conflict. Recognition of “rights to exist” will be an endorsement for Israel but how/in which way the “rights to return” will legitimate the creation of Palestine is unknown. Security analyst believe Israel-Palestine conflict was one of the major root cause of international terrorism. International terrorist using Palestine-Israel conflict as a justification to bomb the targetted state. To overcome the conflict, negotiation for independent Palestine state shall be given top priority while not denying the “rights to exist”. It will be illogical while Israel will get their endorsement from middle-east country but Palestinian soil remain unresolved. Failure to resolve the conflict with win-win environment will push the whole process back to zero ground.
