Abstract

The article proposes that, to accomplish true peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, four fundamental issues must be the subject of negotiations: the question of the Palestinian State, the issue of Jerusalem, the Palestinian refugees and the Jewish colonies. This article does a historic exploration of the apparition of said questions, to then recount the events of Camp David II, the year 2000, the last summit where an attempt was made to negotiate on these problems and, finally, suggest why these issues are so important.

Keywords: Israeli-Palestinian conflict, United States, Camp David II, Jerusalem, Jewish colonies, Palestinian state, Palestinian refugees
