Abstract

An examination of the non-official Geneva Understandings (2003) and the subsequent debates about it show that the two-state solution is technically possible under laboratory conditions and when discussed in backtrack channels by pundits willing to explore the most advanced ideas possible. But, the lack of political will, the changing political conditions, the inertia of occupation and the loss of hope among Israelis and Palestinians have made the two-state idea into an uninviting concept. This is particularly the case in the younger generation on both sides of the divide. To the Palestinians, the end of occupation has become more important than separate statehood. The vision of one, bi-national state with equal rights and opportunities for all is today the dream of the younger Palestinian generation.
