The One-State Solution: An Alternative Approach to the Palestinian- Israeli–Conflict Management

“One-state solution†as an alternative approach to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict where it will create the bi-national state, with two people in one state that have same equality. Under this idea, Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip will be put together into one big country. It comes in two different versions. First, it will create a single democratic country, advocated by some leftists and Palestinians. Arab Muslims would outnumber Jews, putting an end to Israel as a Jewish state. However, this approach may involve many obstacles. Even though, there’s a lot of debate and discussion on one state-solution has taken place, majority of the western politician cannot accept this solution. Moreover, the United Nations and the fives veto power still stick to the two-state solution. Even though it seems like the one-state solution can solve the conflict between Israel and Palestine, we cannot predict the effectiveness of this solution, as the reality and the theoretical aspects were different. It’s hard to anticipate exactly how it would work. The great advantage of the one state solution is that it encourages all peoples to live freely within the whole state, enjoying equal individual and collective rights, while maintaining their own ethnic and cultural identities. Through this solutions Israel can recover its image in international community. Israel has suffered from a negative image and received a lot of criticism, boycott and sanctions from countries around the world because of the policies that they implemented on Palestinian. United Nations should play a role in this solution, in order to offer Israel and Palestinian opportunity to create a peace and stable country.
