"Since the mid-1970s, theres been an international consensus for resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict. [...] Its called a two-state settlement, and a two-state settlement is pretty straightforward, uncomplicated. Israel has to fully withdraw from the West Bank and Gaza and Jerusalem, in accordance with the fundamental principle of international law, [...] that its inadmissible to acquire territory by war. The West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem, having been acquired by war, its inadmissible for Israel to keep them. They have to be returned. On the Palestinian side and also the side of the neighboring Arab states, they have to recognize Israels right to live in peace and security with its neighbors. That was the quid pro quo: recognition of Israel, Palestinian right to self-determination in the West Bank and Gaza with its capital in Jerusalem. Thats the international consensus. Its not complicated. Its also not controversial."
