Recognizing a Palestinian state

Recognizing a Palestinian state

based on the 1967 borders

is vital for Israels existence

e, the citizens o Israel, call on the public to support the

cognition o a democratic Palestinian state as a condition

r ending the confict, and reaching agreed borders on the

asis o the 1967 borders. Recognition o such a Palestinian

ate is vital or Israels existence. It is the only way to

uarantee the resolution o the confict by negotiations, to

revent the eruption o another round o massive violence

and end the risky isolation o Israel in the world.

The successul implementation o the agreements requires

two leaderships, Israeli and Palestinian, which recognize

each other, choose peace and are ully committed to it. This

is the only policy that leaves Israel's ate and security in

its own hands. Any other policy contradicts the promise o

Zionism and the welare o the Jewish people.
