The two-state solution is a proposed diplomatic solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The proposal envisions an independent State of Palestine that borders Israel. Palestinian leadership has supported the concept since the 1982 Arab Summit in Fez. In 2017 the Hamas (a Palestinian Resistance movement that controls the Gaza strip) accepted the solution without recognizing Israel as a state. The current Israeli leadership has stated that a two-state solution can only exist without Hamas and the current Palestinian leadership. The U.S. would have to take a central role in any talks bet…

@9K6H4T41yr1Y
If they stop killing Jews and recognise Israel as a country then yes. If the desire is to wipe out Israel then no until Palestine is de radicalised
#1 Expert Two State Solution for Israel and Palestine
No. The Palestinians do not deserve a state. To reward them with one for their recent barbarous actions would only embolden similar factions worldwide. The Gazans should be transferred to and assimilated into some other country like Qatar, Libya or Iran.
@9ZLVYZGSocialist Alliance5mos5MO
Palestinian land should be returned to the Palestinian people, and both groups can coexist in Palestine.
@9992HTR 1yr1Y
Yes, it is necessary to create peace in the region. In addition, sanction Israel until it lifts its human rights violations.
@9MYFHGP10mos10MO
I believe in a one state solution where Jews and Arabs alike are treated equally legally, economically and socially. Where rather than conflict and how they're different from one another, they focus on peace, co-development, fraternity, shared history and the similarities in their cultures. This conflict has done nothing but spill blood, stirr hatred and conflict even outside the borders of Israel and Palestine and made the military industrial complex even richer.
Yes as long as Palestine is held internationally accountable to the solution.
@9N679WG10mos10MO
No, I support only a Palestinian state, but once the idea of Zionism is gone from the earth, then they can have a discussion on what the two people groups should do
@9PCFVBL10mos10MO
No, it’s absurd: only ignorant people still believe in a two state solution given that Palestinians and Hamas have refused three good deals already and have sworn never to recognise Israel as a legitimate nation.
No. re-establish the state of Palestine and remove the colonial state of isreal.
@9ZBWF9V5mos5MO
I believe that there should be one state for both peoples.
No, and the State of Israel should return to Palestine
@9T848ST7mos7MO
We should only support israel and abolish Palestine
@9NBXWSG10mos10MO
No, the land should be returned to the Palestinians.
@9SGV7ZMAnimal Justice7mos7MO
No, and make Israel return the land it stole from Palestine and Golan Heights
@9P7R2WV10mos10MO
Israel is an ongoing settler colonial state and does not deserve to exist. The wrong doings of the UK in Australia cannot be undone but the acts of Israel in Palestine can.
There is only one state and that is the state of Palestine.
Conduct a census in Israel and Palestine, if there are more people that are willing to co-exist than not, let them live together under the same rule, if not rule --> two state solution.
Yes, but I would like to see a one state solution where Jews and Arabs live with equity with one another.
@9ZWJCP84mos4MO
No, Israel should occupy all of Gaza and West Bank
No, but it would be preferable to see a single state solution where Arabs and Jews can peacefully co-exist to their mutual benefit.
@StormReneUap 3mos3MO
I support Israel, but don’t support funding the war
@9ZSZJSXIndependent4mos4MO
No, Islamists are dedicated to the destruction of Israel and can never be trusted with a state that will endanger Israel's right to exist
@9XQ52Q85mos5MO
Yes, in which Muslims and Jews are freely able to travel between the two states and are not barred from visiting any sites
@9W2J5CJ6mos6MO
Palestine does not exist, Israel is the one true land owners.
@9MDD29F11mos11MO
I don't support a two state solution. One state for both people. :)
@9TTRR956mos6MO
No, I just want peace between Israelis and Palestinians and for them to coexist
@9QYDNKN9mos9MO
No, we've seen what the outcome of a Palestinian state looks like through the Intifadas and October 7. We won't make that mistake again.
Both sides you have a talk and it 50/50 what they get
@9WTMTL25mos5MO
No, Palestine has been experiencing genocide for nearly 70 years and should be granted primary if not total land ownership with Israeli Leaders and military being sentences for war crimes and breach of the Geneva Convention by the UN
@9YJJMF2 5mos5MO
No, Palestinians are the traditional custodians of their land and a two state solution would continue to allow human rights violations against them
Yes, but only temporarily. The goal should be to return all land to Palestine
@B4BW95M10hrs10H
No i support a free palestine and 1 state where both Palestinians and Jews can live together
@B4BMTTY22hrs22H
No, Israel was never the homeland of the Jewish people, it should be given back to the true Semites.
@B4B9G5P1 day1D
Yes, if the Palestinians truly want a state of their own, which unfortunately they don't, they only say they do. But Israel should abandon its 1967-occupied territories regardless, even while the Palestinians will not establish a state there.
@B4924V24 days4D
Israel is not real. I support the Palestinian people and the real Jewish people of Palestine. I do not and will never support Zionism, a supremacist movement that commits genocide.
@B48YSYM4 days4D
Nothing will make a difference. They've been fighting over that patch of sand for 4,000 years and will fight over it for 4,000 more.
@B48Y3RP4 days4D
Neither of them should have the land, return to a Christian kingdom
@B46X4D27 days7D
only Isreal is a state the philistines are a nomad tribes in the dessert
@B45W8PD1wk1W
I support a one-state solution for a free Palestinian state, from the river to the sea, where Arabs, Jews, Muslims, Christians and atheists are free to live, as was the case before Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian land.
@B44XTRW1wk1W
No, there should be one state where all live together in peace
@B42KWFX2wks2W
No. The state always belonged to Palestinians. It is the Israelis who should leave as they are the invaders and oppressors.
@B42CB972wks2W
A Federated Model where Israel and Palestine remain separate but have shared governance structures for security, economy, and Jerusalem.
@B3XZGQQ2wks2W
Absolutely but the Hamas charter wants the destruction of Israel so I think it might take a long time to achieve if it's even possible.
@B3TZ7VF3wks3W
Yes, but I would prefer to see a one state solution where both Arabs and Israelis exist in equality with one another.
@B3QG87T3wks3W
I support a one state solution with equitable rights and responsibilities for both peoples.
@B3N87JHOne Nation4wks4W
No, not because a one-state solution is imminent but because this doesn't impact Australian policy.
@B3F3Z951mo1MO
No GOD gave the promised land to the Jewish people
@B3D5R76 1mo1MO
We should stay well out of it all and let the Israelis and Palestinians deal with it. It is non of our business and we should be focussing in getting our own country out of the shambles it is in now.
@B3CNH6S1mo1MO
We should mind our own business and concentrate on what Australia needs
@B35DTHX1mo1MO
No, Israel have been the owners of the land for thousands of years.
@B33YCG51mo1MO
No, Israel is a terrorist state and they have no legitimate claim to the land.
@B2ZM4N92mos2MO
Make it Christian, not like anything else has worked
@B2YXW8P2mos2MO
No, Palestine should be returned to Palestinians and all citizens should be equal under the law and systems
@B2YMMRK 2mos2MO
No, the regions under the occupation of Israel should be returned to Palestine.
@B2YG9YM2mos2MO
No I believe Palestine should have their sovereignty
@B2SXP9S2mos2MO
Yes, but I would also want to see a one state solution where Israelis and Arabs live in equality with one another in a single state.
I support a Palestinian state and the abolition of Israel
@B2K7VWM2mos2MO
No, a two-state solution is not the answer. The israelites are invaders on palestinian land, it is palestine NOT israel.
@B2J554G2mos2MO
No, I support a one state solution that gives full emancipation and self-determination back to Palestinians.
@B2DWT2N3mos3MO
i think we need to stay out of other peoples business
Palestine is the pre-existing and rightful country. Israel citizens should either be incorporated into Palestine or return to their country of origin.
#4 Engaged Two State Solution for Israel and Palestine
No, Jordan & Egypt should take control of Gaza & West Bank.
No, but I would prefer a one state solution where Arabs and Jews can live together in peace.
@9ZR2LN54mos4MO
No, the British mandate of the region should return or the territory should be handed over to Aramaic people
@9ZM933G5mos5MO
Australia does not allow enough full and truthful information about these issues to be shown to its people. When Australia starts showing the full graphic nature of these 2 areas ... the dead innocent, children and babies that you molly coddle us from seeing because its too horrible perhaps then aussies can be informed enough to make a true decision. As it stands, Australia and its media lies so bad I wouldnt make a decision on another countries problem. We are not the problem and stop using our country as a solution and a home to these mental issues.
The government is why they are here ruining OUR lives ... do you want us to look like the middle east? That is where our government on both sides are leading its people.
@9WWTB495mos5MO
Stay out of it. They've been fighting for 2000 years. They aren't going to stop no matter what.
@9WJWVXF5mos5MO
A one-state solution where both Jews and Arabs are equal and not focused on ethnicity or religion
No. We've seen what the result of a Palestinian state looks like, we won't make that mistake again.
@9VWLWDN6mos6MO
no strong opinion - feel like they will just be in conflict forever
@9VRB6S36mos6MO
Australian should stay out of this conflict altogether
@9VKRS6Z6mos6MO
God gave the land to the Jews and are his chosen people not the philistines and other countries should not attack them God will destroy them
@9TNFRRW 6mos6MO
Yes, but I don't think that we should be involved in a serious conflict
@9V8HJHPOne Nation6mos6MO
Peace will never come to people that don't want it. Until nobody is left the problem will continue. 2 states or 10 states will make no difference
@9TKSK4D7mos7MO
Not our business, focus more on Australia less abroad
Israeli state with a Palestinian Autonomous region.
Yes, but this should be decided after Hamas is destroyed.
@9SYC4SQ7mos7MO

@9S7LL4XIndependent8mos8MO
This was first tabled as an idea in 1937. If it was going to work it would have happened by now.
@9N9NYLW10mos10MO
No, but Israel should still remain as what the founding fathers of Israel have proposed
@9M8CT8411mos11MO
It is imperative to understand that the two-state solution will not lead to any positive outcomes for Israelis and Palestinians. Therefore, it is high time to explore alternative solutions; otherwise, the state of Israel or Palestine will face the risk of extinction.
@9LWRP4B11mos11MO
I would be willing to see West Bank maybe given to Palestine, but Israel must govern the rest of the region.
@9LWQ5YS11mos11MO
Maybe West Bank can be handed over to Palestine, but Israel needs to keep control of Gaza and the rest of the region.
@9LGXK2T12mos12MO
No, I believe the holy land should be returned to the catholic church as one unitary kingdom
No, I support a single integrated state where both israeli people and Palestinian people live side by side and I support the Israeli military in their efforts to destroy Hamas and the other terrorist groups currently attacking Israel.
@B2CX2GZ3mos3MO
the land belongs to palestinians, it is barbaric to expect them to live beside their oppressors. it’s also not a “conflict” it’s a genocide.
Australia should not be getting involved, this question is irrelevant to our far away island.
@9QYFR269mos9MO
I support a three state solution, with a Gaza state, an Israeli state, and a West Bank state
Israel cannot leave a state run by terrorists in place if it wants to continue existing
@9MC55XX 11mos11MO
GOD will wipe out any nation who comes against Israel
