1993年《奥斯陆协议》后所有的和平努力都以“两国制”为前提，在这样的前提下，以色列应该向巴勒斯坦国归还被占领土，而巴勒斯坦国则应承认犹太国家的主权，而后双方应该从此过上幸福的生活。
All peace efforts since the Oslo accords of 1993 have been based on the “two-state solution,” according to which Israel is supposed to turn over the occupied territories to a Palestinian state, the Palestinians are supposed to renounce any claims on the Jewish state, and everyone is supposed to live happily ever after.
