Public-opinion polls have consistently shown that the majority of Israelis and Palestinians want peace (not a peace process) based on a two-state solution. Almost every learned pundit, expert, or politician in the Middle East and around the world knows pretty much what a solution to the conflict would look like – a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with slight land swaps and an equitable negotiated solution of the Palestinian refugee issue.
长期以来的民意调查都表明大多数以色列和巴勒斯坦人都渴望实现一个基于两国方案的和平（而不仅仅是一个和平进程）。中东地区和全世界几乎所有的学者，专家和政治家都深知一个冲突解决方案应该是何种面目——一个基于1967年边界的巴勒斯坦国，双方进行小规模的土地交换，以及针对巴勒斯坦难民问题的公平协商方案。
