ABSTRACT
In July 1937, Lord
Peel’s Palestine Royal Commission report was given to the British government.
This report concluded that the only solution for Palestine was the prototype
principle of “two state for two nations” solution - a
Jewish state and an Arab state. This was the first proposal for a partition
plan in Palestine. Since then, throughout the 90 years, there have been over 20 recommendations for the solution of the
struggle based on the two-state solution. The last, most recent,
recommendations were The Camp David Accords drafted by Clinton in 2000, the
Geneva Initiative in 2003, and Ehud Olmert’s Annapolis Plan in 2008. It
appears that the differences between the sides are many, too many to enable
reaching an agreement regarding two states. What has happened over the last 80 years since then? Is a two state solution,
after over 100 years of Arab-Jews conflict in the Holy Land, still possible?
This article shows the long road the partition plan has taken in Palestine and
suggests a new look about the partition that already exist.
