The Olive Branch from Palestine

The Olive Branch from Palestine presents a fresh perspective on the Palestinian pursuit of resolution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, outlining a proactive plan centered on Palestinian agency and the potential for a two-state solution. Jerome Segal analyzes the historical significance of the 1988 Palestinian Declaration of Independence, emphasizing its role in redefining Palestinian nationalism. He then proposes a detailed peace plan that addresses the refugee issue while respecting Israel's identity as a Jewish-majority state, aiming to facilitate dialogue without relying solely on negotiations.
