		The current position of the Palestinian Authority as well as Israel is that some portion of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip should form the basis of a future Palestinian state.
		Palestinian negotiators have so far insisted that refugees, and all their descendants, from the 1948 and 1967 wars have a right to return to the places where they lived before 1948 and 1967, including those within the 1949 Armistice lines, citing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and UN General Assembly Resolution 194 as evidence.
		Palestinians have argued that the IDF, a large and modern armed force, poses a direct and pressing threat to the sovereignty of any future Palestinian state, making a defensive force for a Palestinian state a matter of necessity.

	Alternative Palestinian Agenda - Peace Initiative
		A Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza cannot accommodate the number of exiled Palestinians who are prevented from returning to their homes, nor does it address the concerns of the refugees in the West Bank and Gaza whose homes and lands are in what is now Israel.
		This proposal recommends a reconfiguration whereby the area to the West that was allocated to the Palestinian state fall under Israeli sovereignty and the area in the center that was allocated to the Jewish state fall under Palestinian sovereignty.
		Negotiations have set the Palestinian refugee problem aside, left the concerns of the Palestinians in Israel for 'internal' Israeli consideration, overlooked the severity of the demographic crisis in Gaza, and failed to recognize the now native born Israeli population as a fundamental change in the dynamics of the conflict that seeks regional acceptance.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Views of Palestinian statehood
		Proposals for a Palestinian state vary depending on ones views of Palestinian statehood, as well as various definitions of Palestine and Palestinian (see also State of Palestine).
		Israel (in Blue) and the Arab League states (in Green) The Arab-Israeli conflict is a long-running conflict in the Middle East regarding the existence of the state of Israel and its relations with Arab states and with the Palestinian population (see Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
		The view that the region west of the Jordan River should become a Jewish homeland west of the Jordan River, while the region to its east should be for non-Jewish residents, is still fondly cherished by many Israeli and American Jews, but utterly dismissed by Islamic people generally.

	Anti-Zionism
		There have been many subsequent proposals (see also Proposals for a Palestinian state), nearly all of which were vetoed in the UN by the United States and Israel, despite world support.
		Many people outside the state of Israel are Zionist, as being a Zionist (by the standard definition) only means that one supports the right of Jews to have a state in Palestine; it does not necessarily mean that one must emigrate to that state (aliyah) in order to live there.
		Supporters of the State of Israel hold that in the vast majority of cases ideological anti-Zionists are also anti-Semites, combining the two concepts in a way that cancels the distinction between them.

		Such conduct is inconsistent with the Palestinian leadership's commitment to Oslo's nonviolent path to peace and its persistence sends the wrong message to the Israeli people, and makes it much more difficult for them to support their leaders in making the compromises necessary to get a lasting agreement.
		And restoring confidence requires the Palestinians being able to lead a normal existence, and not be subject to daily, often humiliating reminders that they lack basic freedom and control over their lives.
		For the Palestinian people, it means the freedom to determine their own future on their own land, a new life for the refugees, an independent and sovereign state with al Quds as its capital, recognized by all.

	Proposals for a Palestinian state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Currently, the Palestinian National Authority (PNA), along with the United States, the European Union, and the Arab League, envision the establishment of a State of Palestine to include all or part of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem, living in peace with Israel under a democratically elected and transparent government.
		The State of Palestine is not recognized by the United Nations, although the European Union, as well as most member states, maintain diplomatic ties with the Palestinian Authority, established under the Oslo Accords (Leila Shahid, envoy of the PNA to France since 1984, was named in November 2005 representant of the PNA for Europe).
		Palestinian negotiators have so far insisted that refugees, and all their descendants, from the 1948 and 1967 wars have a right to return to the places where they lived before 1948 and 1967, including those within the 1949 Armistice lines, citing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and UN General Assembly Resolution 194 as evidence.

	Israeli-Palestinian Peace plans and final status proposals
		Palestinian refugees who fled Israeli in 1948 and 1967 want the right to return to their homes in Israel (Right of Return), and Palestinians historically have tried to limit Jewish immigration to Israel and abolish the Law of Return.
		Return of Palestinian refugees and their descendants, including all those who claim the status of Palestinian refugees, would establish an Arab majority in Israel and would therefore mean the end of Israel as a Jewish state.
		Some of the recent proposals are expressly designed to subjugate one side or the other and cannot be considered "peace plans." Some of the initiatives are intended to be the basis for a peace plan or a method of arriving at a peace plan, but aren't complete solutions and don't pretend to be.

	Proposals for a Palestinian state - Definition, explanation
		The Zionist leaders accepted the proposal, seeing the tiny Jewish state as the seed of a future larger state, though their support of the "transfer" aspect was carefully hidden from the public.
		Palestinian negotiators have so far insisted that refugees, and all their descendents, from the 1948 and 1967 wars have a right to return to the places they were lived in before 1948 and 1967, including INSIDE Israel.
		Several plans have been proposed for a Palestinian state to incorporate all of the pre-1967 territory of Israel, as well as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

		The current position of the Palestinian Authority as well as Israel is that the West Bank and the Gaza Strip should form the basis of a future Palestinian state.
		Many Arabs have supported or continue to support the creation of a united Arab state encompassing all Arab peoples including Palestine, so that no independent Palestinian state would exist, but this became a minority view amongst Palestinians during the British Mandate and after 1948 became rare.
		A secular Arab state (the PLO National Covenant before the cancellation of the relevant clauses in 1998).

		For them, it meant that Palestinian Arabs would have to give up a disproportionate part of the land to a group that constituted only about 28% of the population and owned only 6% of the land (much of it was owned by the state).
		It should be noted here that Arab opposition to an independent Palestinian state, mostly from Jordan but certainly involving broader Arab leadership, was a factor in the absence of any pursuit of a Palestinian state between the wars of 1948 and 1967, as was the deepening conflict between the Arab states and Israel.
		Palestinians as well as many Jewish and Israeli peace groups would see two states as meaning a Palestinian state in Gaza and on all of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

	Camp David Proposals for Final Palestine-Israel Peace Settlement
		Palestinians are now (February 2001) demanding full implementation of the right of return of the refugees, under UN Resolution 194.
		The Palestinians have been claiming that the proposals would have perpetuated the precise situation of the interim agreements, in which the West Bank is divided into numerous small areas of Palestinian sovereignty interspersed with a much larger area of Israeli sovereignty.
		According to one source, the Palestinian State would be limited in the number of refugees it could absorb to half a million refugees according to a fixed timetable.

	Campus Hypocrisy
		Historians can debate whether the Camp David and Clinton peace proposals for a Palestinian state were for 85, 90, or 97 percent of the West Bank and Gaza.
		It should have been to tell Israel and America that their peace proposals were the first fair offer they had ever put forth, and although they still fell short of what Palestinians feel is a just two-state solution, Palestinians were now prepared to work with Israel and America to achieve that end.
		It is shameful that at a time when some Palestinians are writing that they made a historic mistake in not nurturing the Clinton peace offer, pro-Palestinian professors and students in America and Europe pretend that the only reason the occupation persists is because of Israeli obstinacy.

	Ha
		The finishing touches on the maps of the Palestinian proposals and the conceptions behind them are now being added by the Jerusalem Task Force, the professional team that Husseini set up in May 2000.
		In this way, the Palestinians hope, the relevant parties will understand why the proposals were neither a compromise nor a case of Israeli generosity; they were a territorial division that rules out the possibility of establishing a viable Palestinian state.
		The moment Israel accepts this principle, the Palestinians will be ready to negotiate a flexible implementation of it and of the fate of settlements -evacuation, territorial swaps, granting Palestinian citizenship to settlers who wish to remain.

	Settlements - Proposals
		Sharon Plan (1992): This plan, proposed by MK Ariel Sharon, would have Israel annex approximately 50 percent of the territories, while in the remaining areas (mostly Palestinian population centers) 11 "cantons" of Palestinian autonomy would be created -- seven in the West Bank and four in Gaza.
		Since the signing of the DOP, there have been a number of new proposals on settlements intended to serve as guidelines for Israeli negotiators at future final status discussions with the Palestinians.
		The residents of the Israeli settlements, existing outside the area to be annexed by the State of Israel, would receive special, agreed-upon, status under which their Israeli citizenship and their ties with the State of Israel, as individuals and as a community, would be preserved.

		Yasser Arafat's statements in Geneva a month later were accepted by the United States as sufficient to remove the ambiguities it saw in the declaration and to fulfill the longheld conditions for open dialogue with the United States.
		A PA Cabinet minister, Saeb Arekat, declared this would mean Israel is waging a "war" against Palestinians to maintain its occupation of the West Bank and Gaza [9].
