[Introduction]

This solution is proposed by some of the Palestinian organisations because they are in a dilemma as to what to do with the 2½ million Israelis should Israel's independence be destroyed. Essentially this is a proposal to establish a binational state "in which Arabs, Jews and Christians will live together in equality". The outlines of this solution, based on the Palestinian Charter (published by the Palestinian Liberation Organisation), is as follows:
a)Palestine will be an Arab state.
b)Israelis are not a nation, but rather Palestinians belonging to the Jewish religion.
c)The majority of Israelis must be expelled "as foreigners" so that the remainder will constitute a minority within Palestine.
