When we discuss how peace might be achieved between Israelis and Palestinians, one scenario often comes up: the two-state solution. It advocates the creation of two independent states: one Palestinian, and the other Israeli. However, in recent years, this solution has become increasingly difficult to achieve.
Since the failure of the Oslo Accords in 1993, more and more Israelis and Palestinians say they no longer see this as a viable solution. In this three-minute video, Le Monde explains the main obstacles to implementing the two-state solution: the issue of borders, the division of Jerusalem, and the return of exiled Palestinians. We also take a look at another solution − that of a bi-national state.
