JVP opposes the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.[3] It has published articles criticizing what it describes as the "severe human-rights violations that Israel engages in every day",[8] such as the construction of the Israeli West Bank barrier, the blockade of the Gaza Strip, and military operations in Gaza and the West Bank. It "endorses neither a one-state solution to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, nor a two-state solution".[9] According to Dov Waxman, such positions mean that they do not support Israel's character as Jewish and democratic.[10]
