Israeli right
VS
Palestinian statehood advocates
The Israeli right, represented by the current Israeli government and its leaders, generally opposes Palestinian statehood or attaches conditions that make a viable two-state solution impossible.
Palestinian statehood advocates, including international supporters and organizations, argue for the establishment of a Palestinian state as a means to resolve the conflict and ensure equal rights for Palestinians.
The two sides have conflicting interests: the Israeli right seeks to maintain control over territories and settlements, while Palestinian statehood advocates seek recognition and sovereignty for a Palestinian state.
Israeli leaders have openly declared they will never allow a Palestinian state, and the advancement of settlement plans, such as the E1 plan, threatens the viability of a Palestinian state.
The debate over the two-state solution is central to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Some propose alternative models, such as a one-state solution with equal rights for all, while others argue that a two-state solution is the only viable path to peace.
The international community has largely supported the two-state solution, but its implementation remains elusive.
