The Three State Solution is the name given to the diplomatic and political proposals which resulted in the end of the Israel-Palestine conflict and the establishment of the State of the Holy Land in 2009.
History
editThe solution was first proposed to the General Assembly of the United Nations by William V of the United Kingdom, and later formalised in the Nablus Accords in December, 2008, in which the Government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority agreed to recognise the existence of three political entities within the borders of the State of Israel and the occupied territories. These States, Israel, a majority Jewish country with its capital at Tel Aviv, Palestine, a majority Arab country with its capital at Gaza, and Samaria, a multicultural country with its capital at Nablus, were formally united as a single national entity with its capital at Jerusalem, in talks which concluded with the signing of the Jerusalem Resolution in November, 2009.
Philosophical basis
editAccording to his autobiography, William's proposals were inspired by his conversion to Xianity in 2007. The religion's emphasis on non-duality was apparently central to the concept of the balanced Federal State solution which was eventually to become the key element of the settlement.
