The suggested solution to the “conflict” is the establishment of two independent states, side by side—the State of Israel and the State of Palestine—two states for two people.
All women and minors who are prisoners will be immediately released and will be transferred to the Palestinian Authority. If any of them are deemed to be a threat to the peace process, the Palestinian Authority will be responsible to deal with them.
The Palestinian Authority will officially request the release of Gilad Shalit and will support a renewed connection with his family.
The Israeli and the Palestinian delegation commits to developing practical programs which will foster “Education for Peace” between the two peoples. Both sides agree on educational autonomy in each region, and cessation of
incitement without interfering in each other’s curriculums.
Cessation of Settlements: The Israeli delegation agrees to stop all building in the Jewish settlements for two years in order to begin negotiations. If, within the two years, a peace accord is not reached, then the settlement issue will return to the negotiation table.
