The '''two-state solution''' is the hypothesis of agreement that is being discussed by the key actors in the [[Arab-Israeli conflict]]. According to this hypothesis, the solution to the now historic war would lie in the creation of two separate states in the western part of territory of the [[Mandate of Palestine|British Mandate of [[Palestine]], one [[Israel|Jewish]] and the other [[State of Palestine|Arab]]. In that proposal, Arabs residing in the [[West Bank]] or [[Gaza Strip ]]would be given citizenship of the new Palestinian state, which would also be offered to Palestinian refugees; as for Arabs residing in Israel, they would be given the opportunity to choose which citizenship to have: Israeli or Palestinian.
Discussed especially during the [[Annapolis Conference]] in November 2007, it is an idea that, with variations, has a history dating back to the 1930s.
