Principles
1. Finality
1.1 The Just Peace Agreement (hereafter, this agreement) fulfills UN Security Council Resolutions 242, 338 and 1397 and is a full implementation of these resolutions. It is the Final Status Agreement under the Quartet Roadmap defined in 2003. It fulfills the criteria of the Arab Peace Initiative proposed at the Beirut Summit of the Arab League in 2002. Its implementation satisfies the aspirations of the Palestinian people for an independent sovereign state that is a homeland for Palestinians. Its implementation satisfies the aspirations of the Jewish people for an independent sovereign state that is a homeland for Jews.1.2 This agreement supercedes all prior agreements between the parties.
1.3 This agreement is a final settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in all its aspects. Its implementation is a settlement of all claims of each party against the other. The agreement forms a complete reconciliation between Palestinians and Israelis. It implies recognition and normalization of relations between all co-signatory states and Israel. It implies recognition and establishment of relations between all co-signatory states and Palestine.
1.4 A line in time is drawn under all previous actions. A general inclusive amnesty shall be declared by all parties. An unconditional truce shall be declared by all parties. No aspect of this agreement shall be interpreted or implemented as an act of retribution, vengeance, punishment, reprisal, oppression or conquest. No aspect of this agreement shall be interpreted or implemented as an act of reward, surrender, appeasement, victory or defeat. No aspect of this agreement shall be interpreted as judgment, support, justification, accusation or criticism of any prior action by any party. This agreement does not condone any prior action. This agreement does not condemn any prior action. We remember all those who have died in the conflict with respect, through silence.
2. Non-violence
2.1 This agreement brings to an end the conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis and establishes a relationship of peace and co-operation between the two states. The agreement commits the signatories to pursue their national aspirations and political aims exclusively by non-violent and democratic means. This commitment to non-violence is irrevocable and without conditions. It over-rides and encompasses all other principles and articles of this agreement, which shall be interpreted solely in such as way as to support non-violence and peaceful co-existence between the peoples and the states.2.2 The signatories abjure and renounce the use of force as a means of settling disputes between them. Any disputes arising from the interpretation and implementation of this agreement or in any other way shall be resolved by means of the trans-national and inter-governmental mechanisms set up herein and always by non-violent legal and democratic means.
2.3 The signatories reject violence and terrorism and will refrain from any actions or policies that nurture extremism or are conducive to terrorism. The parties shall make comprehensive and continuous efforts by peaceful means separately and jointly against all forms of violence and terrorism. The parties reject inter-ethnic, religious and racial intolerance and hatred, and shall do all in their power to create, support and sustain harmony, understanding, and mutual respect with peaceful co-existence between the nations, races and political, ethnic and religious groups in the Land. They shall discourage and prevent incitement to racism, terrorism, violence, oppression, irredentism and revanchism.
2.4 The adoption and implementation of this agreement symbolizes and realizes a deep and permanent change in the modes of action, speech, thought and belief of many Israelis and Palestinians; away from conflict, violence, competition, destruction, domination, oppression, terror and resistance; towards co-existence, co-operation, equality, dialogue, compromise, creativity, harmony, friendship and peace. All that is negative is past. In the future we shall act positively and together for the common good.
3. Democracy
3.1 The State of Palestine and the State of Israel are democracies. The governments are freely elected according to the basic law or constitution of the respective states. Sovereign power is exercised by elected representatives and moderated by constitutional courts of law. Both states protect freedom of speech, faith, worship, assembly, peaceful protest, democratic rights and the rule of law.3.2 Overthrow of the elected government of either state by armed force, revolution, subversion, terror, illegal seizure of power or foreign invasion shall be a Violation of the Just Peace as defined in annex 11 and shall lead to a suspension of this agreement until such time as the violation is corrected.
3.3 We and our descendants shall forever be equal in rights and liberty; equal in honor and dignity; equal in power and wisdom; equally independent, equally secure, equally at peace; equally free, equally confident, equally steadfast; equal in brotherhood with each other; equal in courage in the face of adversity; equal in justice before the law; equal in mercy before God. None shall deny us this inheritance, our eternal birthright, which we now claim.
4. Parity
4.1 This agreement realizes a just and practical solution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through the principle of parity, which is equality and comparability of the two states. This agreement asserts and embodies the principle of parity of rights, power, treatment and attainment between the State of Palestine and the State of Israel, and between their peoples. All articles of this agreement shall be interpreted consistently with this principle, subject only to the over-riding principles of finality, non-violence and democracy.4.2 The principle of parity shall be applied so as to enhance the rights, power, treatment and attainment of each state and people, rather than to diminish the rights, power, treatment or attainment of the other.
Articles
1. Sovereignty
1.1 This agreement recognizes the rights of the Jewish and Palestinian peoples to statehood, establishing and affirming the equal rights of the two states and of all citizens of the two states.1.2 The State of Palestine is established immediately upon this agreement with democratic constitutional government under law.

2. Territory
2.1 The border between the State of Palestine and the State of Israel shall be based on the June 4 1967 lines, also known as the 1949 Armistice Agreement Line or the Green Line. This border shall be modified by reciprocal exchanges of territory on a one-to-one basis. That is, equal areas of land of similar quality shall be exchanged. No-mans'-land shall count for 50% in the land exchange or shall be divided equally between the states. Detailed rules for these exchanges of territory are contained in annex 1.2.2 Additional to these exchanges, the territory of Palestine shall be increased by gifts of territory from neighboring states through bilateral treaties between the states concerned as outlined in annex 2. The nature and boundaries of the territorial gifts shall be determined by the donor states and fixed by the bilateral treaties between the donor and recipient states independently of but voluntarily linked to the Just Peace Agreement. When all territorial gifts to Palestine are completed, the territories of Palestine and Israel shall both be approximately 20000 square km (land area) and equal.
2.3 Both states shall respect and recognize each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity and the inviolability of each other's territory including territorial waters and airspace.
2.4 The states of Palestine and Israel shall establish a corridor linking the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. This corridor shall be under Israeli sovereignty but under Palestinian administration. It shall be permanently open. It shall be at least 100 metres wide at all points. Palestinian law shall apply to persons using and procedures in this corridor. The corridor shall not be used as a way to enter one of the states from the other illegally. The corridor shall support infra-structural facilities such as water and gas pipelines, power lines and communications cables and a rail line, as well as a road link. The corridor shall be physically constructed in such as way that it does not interfere with or sever any existing or planned connections between northern and southern Israel. All provisions of this clause shall be implemented by agreement between the states through the decisions of the Trade, Borders and Transport subcommittee of the IPCC (annex 5).
2.5 Sites of religious significance shall be honoured and respected in both states. Sites located in one state that are of religious significance to citizens of the other state shall be open to such citizens for the purpose of religious observances and ceremonies of worship. Such sites shall not be used for political purposes or for demonstrations or for protests. Such sites shall not be open to members of other religions for whom they do not have a special significance. Secure transport to and from such sites of religious significance shall be provided by the state of which the worshipers are citizens. Maintenance and organization of such sites of religious significance shall be carried out by appointed officials of the religion to which the site is sacred. Where it is necessary for such persons to reside permanently at the site, these persons shall be granted the status of temporary or permanent resident in the state concerned if they are citizens of the other state or a third state. All provisions of this clause shall be implemented by agreement between the states through the decisions of the Religious Sites subcommittee of the IPCC (annex 5). In the event of the failure of this body to agree, final adjudication shall rest with the High Court of the Just Peace constituted as defined in annex 5.

Trans-national and inter-governmental institutions shall be located in either half of the city.3.2 The international boundary between the states of Palestine and Israel shall pass through the center of the city. The city shall not be physically divided by the international boundary between the states. No fence, wall, checkpoint, obstacle or barrier shall prevent the free movement of people, goods or vehicles within the city.
3.3 The civic boundary of the city shall be as defined in annex 3. The outer boundary of the city and the international boundary within the city shall be such as to maintain parity of territorial area for the two states within the city boundary. National and civic policy shall henceforth aim for parity within the entire city within fifteen years of date of this agreement in conformance with the designation of the city as a bi-national parity zone under the terms of the Just Peace Agreement as defined in annex 8. Checkpoints at the outer boundaries of the city shall be those required for the purposes of security, control of migration and border control administered by officers of the state concerned.
3.4 All persons resident within the new city boundaries of Jerusalem for at least ninety days prior to the date of this agreement shall be granted the status of Resident of the City of Jerusalem and shall have rights as defined in article 4 of this agreement regardless of which state exercises sovereignty over the land on which they reside. Persons with this status shall have the right to reside in any part of the city, subject to practicality and permission from a designated organ of the JCC (see next clause). Permits for residence and building shall be subject to the principle of parity applied to the city as a whole but shall not otherwise be unreasonably withheld.
3.5 The Jerusalem City Council (JCC) shall be directly elected by the city residents and shall consist of 32 members, with equal numbers of Israelis and Palestinians. Elections shall take place every five years with the electorate defined as residents within the new city boundary and the first election within ninety days of the date of this agreement. The elected Council shall then replace the present JCC.

The IFC shall act as a consultative body to the JCC and the IPCC on matters related to the religious significance of sites and the promotion of inter-faith understanding and dialogue. The IFC shall have legal and executive authority as delegated by the JCC in the designated areas.
3.9 The Old City including al-Haram al-Sharif shall be under dual sovereignty with the Western Wall under Israeli sovereignty and al-Haram al-Sharif under Palestinian sovereignty.

4.1 All citizens of the Land shall have equal rights as citizens of the state of their choice. Persons over the age of eighteen years who identify themselves justifiably as Palestinian or Arab, having been resident in either state for more than one year, have the right to choose Palestinian citizenship without compulsion, coercion or intimidation of any kind from whatever source or whatever motive. Similarly, persons over the age of eighteen years who identify themselves justifiably as Israeli or Jewish, having been resident in either state for more than one year, have the right to choose Israeli citizenship. Persons declining or failing to register a choice shall retain their existing citizenship without prejudice to their rights and responsibilities.4.2 Citizens who justifiably identify themselves as both Jewish and Palestinian-Arab, may apply for and be granted and hold joint Palestinian-Israeli citizenship. Married couples, one of whom is Palestinian and the other of whom is Israeli, may apply for and be granted and hold joint citizenship along with their descendants. Joint citizens shall have the rights and responsibilities of citizens in both states, may vote in elections in both states, and may claim rights of residence in either or both states.
4.3 Both states in their sovereign discretion shall allow citizens of the other state or citizens of other foreign states to become resident in their territory. Both shall allow the status of temporary resident. Persons who hold the status of temporary resident shall have a declared period and date of termination of their residence status. Persons who hold the status of temporary resident shall have all civil and human rights as if they were citizens, with limitations or restrictions on ownership of property and land, employment and action clearly specified according to the law of the state in which they are resident. The criteria on the basis on which persons shall be granted residence are detailed in annex 10.
4.4 Both states shall allow the status of permanent resident. Persons who are citizens of one state and who hold the status of permanent resident in the other state have the right to live there as in their own homeland. Persons who hold the status of permanent resident shall have all civil and human rights as if they were a citizen, without limitations or restrictions according to the law of the state in which they are resident, excepting the right to take part in national elections of the state in which they reside (see clause 4.10). The criteria on the basis on which persons shall be granted residence are detailed in annex 10.

They shall withdraw from the State of Palestine in accordance with the provisions of Article 1. The State of Israel shall be responsible for resettling Israeli civilian occupiers living on sovereign Palestinian territory outside this territory. The resettlement process shall take place in stages according to a timetable that terminates 180 days from the date of this agreement. Persons withdrawing from Palestinian territory under this clause shall be treated as refugees for the purposes of their resettlement in Israel, and the State of Israel may make use of the provisions for support of resettlement of refugees under article 5 of this agreement.

Such applications must clearly state where in Palestine they are applying to reside. They may be granted or denied the status of permanent resident in Palestine, or temporary resident with a fixed term, by the Government of Palestine following the criteria in annex 10. Decisions on permanent resident and temporary resident status in Palestine shall not be unduly delayed and in no case for more than ninety days from the date of application. Citizens of Israel who gain the status of permanent resident in Palestine shall have the rights and responsibilities specified in this article.
4.9 Where a dispute over civil ownership or cultivation of any land or property exists, this shall be resolved rapidly by legal means through the Land Court as defined in annex 5. Legal rulings shall financially compensate any persons justifiably claiming loss of property, land or access to land. Legal rulings shall be in favor of persons de facto residing in property under dispute and in favor of compensating their opponents financially. Legal rulings shall be in favor of citizens of the state in which uninhabited land or property lies (prior to any territorial exchange) and in favor of compensating their opponents financially.
4.10 Citizens of either state who have the status of permanent resident in the other state shall have all the rights and responsibilities of citizens of the state in which they reside excepting the right to take part in national elections of the state in which they reside either as a candidate or as a voter. Citizens of either state who have the status of permanent resident in the other state shall have the right to take part in national elections of the state of which they are citizens. Any obligation for military service shall be organized through the state of which they are citizens, not the state in which they are resident.
4.11 Citizens of either state who hold the status of permanent resident, temporary resident or have illegally entered or are visitors in the other state are legally bound by the laws of that state while they are present in that state.
4.12 The two states shall use similar criteria to grant or refuse applications for temporary or permanent residence in that state. These criteria shall include but are not limited to the criteria listed in annex 10. Policies of the states that implement the principle of parity as regards numbers of persons of one citizenship holding the status of permanent resident in the other state shall be applied co-operatively through the Israeli-Palestinian Co-operation Committee (Annex 5) with the aim of attaining parity for this criterion within 15 years. If parity is not attained within fifteen years of the date of this agreement, the process shall be extended for a further fifteen years, with the aim of attaining parity within thirty years of the date of this agreement.
4.13 Citizens of either state who hold the status of permanent resident in the other state and who have immediate family (husband, wife, dependent parents or dependent children) who also hold the status of permanent resident in the same state may not be deprived of the status or rights of permanent resident nor may they be deported, unless the entire family loses or resigns their permanent resident status together under clause 4.14.
4.14 Subject to the foregoing clause, citizens of either state who hold the status of permanent resident in the other state may lose the status and rights of permanent resident only by: (1) voluntarily leaving their state of residence and formally resigning the status of permanent resident; or (2) voluntarily leaving their state of residence for a period of three years during which period they reside elsewhere for more than 90% of that period; or (3) being found guilty in a court of law of a Serious Offence Against the Peace as defined in annex 11, in which case they may both lose permanent resident status and subsequently be deported subject to clause 4.13.
4.15 Citizens of either state who hold the status of temporary or permanent resident in the other state may use symbols representing their national identity on their personal clothing or on their personal vehicles, with a limit of one such symbol per vehicle. They may not use symbols representing their national identity on or attached to any permanent structure including walls, roofs, flag-poles or the ground, in the other state in which they are resident. They may assert that the state in which they are resident is their homeland. They may not assert by name that it is in fact the state of their citizenship, either in speech or in writing.
4.16 The Right of Return. Persons of any nationality, or none, resident anywhere in the world, who identify themselves justifiably as Palestinian, have the absolute right, which shall not be denied, to return to Palestine and shall be granted Palestinian citizenship without undue delay. Persons of any nationality, or none, resident anywhere in the world, who identify themselves justifiably as Jewish, have the absolute right, which shall not be denied, to return to Israel and shall be granted Israeli citizenship without undue delay. Such citizens shall immediately have and hold and exercise all the rights and responsibilities of citizens of their respective states including the right to apply for the status of resident in the other state and, if granted this status, to live there as in their own homeland. When returning to the Land, persons shall initially be resident in the state in which they are granted citizenship.
4.17 The application of the Right of Return shall be under the absolute sovereign jurisdiction and power of the government and laws of Israel and Palestine applied in their own territories respectively. Both states shall have the right to deny the granting of the status of citizenship or of residence on grounds of ineligibility under law.

9. Economic Development
9.1 Immediately this agreement comes into force, a process of economic and national development shall be initiated aimed at attaining parity between the states of Palestine and Israel within a period of fifteen years. The economic criteria for which the principle of parity shall be applied are defined in the following clauses of this article. If parity as defined in annex 8 clause 8.3 is not attained for any of these criteria within fifteen years of the date of this agreement, the process of economic development supported by the international community under this article shall be extended as regards that criterion for a further fifteen years, with the aim of attaining parity within thirty years of the date of this agreement.9.2 The process of economic and national development shall be supported by the entire international community of nations, primarily through bi-national aid agreements with the states of Palestine and Israel separately or jointly. Commitments shall be for periods of at least one year and up to fifteen years. Commitments shall include funds given to the UNC-RPR for the purposes of resettling Palestinian refugees in Palestine or in Israel or in third countries.

9.4 The total requirement for international support for the process of economic development described in this article is estimated at $18 billion (2008 US dollars) per annum sustained for fifteen years, additional to the private investment at a roughly similar level. The agreement requests and invites sustained contributions detailed in annex 12.
9.5 Financial contributions to the international support for the process of economic development described in this article shall be channeled directly from government agencies of the donor states to government agencies of the recipient state. Contributions may also take the form of supply of materials, equipment, information or expertise, or loan of equipment or expertise for an agreed period.

9.6 Financial contributions to the international support for the process of economic development as described in this article that are channeled to government agencies of the recipient state shall be subject to anti-corruption laws in the recipient state. Corruption connected with the channelling of financial contributions under this article shall be a criminal offence and an Offence Against the Peace as defined in annex 11.
9.7 Contributions to the international support for the process of economic development as described in this article shall be directed towards attaining economic parity between the states of Palestine and Israel within fifteen years. They shall not be constrained by applying a principle of parity numerically to the contributions themselves. As a matter of fact arising from the economic differential between the states at the date this agreement comes into force, contributions to the international support for the process of economic development as described in this article shall predominantly be directed to advancing the economy of Palestine. Resources shall not be used to hold back or impede the economy of Israel.
9.8 All processes of economic development as described in this article shall be under the strategic political control of citizens of the recipient state. All processes of economic development as described in this article shall be brought under the operational control of citizens of the recipient state as soon as possible.

9.10 There shall be no trade barriers between the State of Israel and the State of Palestine. Notwithstanding security provisions as detailed in article 7 of this agreement, no additional artificial barriers to cross-border trade, employment or free movement of goods, information or persons shall be imposed. Existing barriers on the territory of either state shall be removed. There shall be no restrictions placed by either party on the import or export of food, clothing, other personal items or any material, goods or equipment not prohibited under article 7 of this agreement into or from any part of the Land.
9.11 The following clauses describe the process of economic development, with an approximate priority sequence. First, priority shall be given to completing the port at Gaza to allow import of all necessary items for the inhabitants of Gaza and the import of material, goods and equipment for the early stages of the economic development as described in this article. The port shall be constructed and equipped to cope with the demands to be placed on it in pursuit of the goal of economic parity as described in this article.
9.12 Second, priority shall be given to completing the transport corridor between the West Bank and Gaza as described in article 2 clause 2.4, and opening a road link via the corridor. The corridor shall be constructed to carry gas through a pipeline to the West Bank from Gaza, and such water pipelines and electrical and communications cables as may be required.
9.13 Third, priority shall be given to other transport infrastructure necessary for supporting the process of economic development. This transport infra-structure may include further major roads, re-opening the airport in Gaza and constructing a further airport on the West Bank. Necessary roads from Gaza into the Sinai as far as the Gulf of Aqaba and along the coast shall also be given priority, and from the West Bank northwards to the Golan in the direction of Damascus. Development of railways shall also be included.
9.13 Fourth, priority shall be given to expanding the construction industry to cope with the demands of the expected influx of refugees and others returning to the Land, as well as upgrading existing dwellings to the standards specified in this agreement. Planning should be based on possible resettlement of 200,000 persons per year and construction of up to 50,000 dwellings per year, along with their associated water supply, electric and/or gas supplies, communications and waste facilities. This is the equivalent of two Palestinian cities or ten medium size towns each year. Also the necessary social, medical, educational and religious facilities for such new towns: meetings halls, hospitals and medical centers, schools and colleges, mosques, churches and synagogues.
9.14 Fifth, expansion will be required of industry and services to meet the commitment for employment not only for the large numbers of returning refugees but also for the existing local population, whether refugees or not, who are currently unemployed. This expansion shall be organized as part of an overall industrial development plan, co-ordinated between the two states at the highest level, to ensure smooth and effective development of industrial and service capabilities required by the internal economies and viable as exports. Foreign support for this agreement may take the form of the foundation of multi-national subsidiaries within the two states; these shall be encouraged, provided they meet the requirements of the overall industrial development plan of the states and that all enterprises are owned at least 51% by the recipient state or its citizens.
9.15 Sixth, agriculture shall be supported to reinforce existing strengths in intensive agriculture, irrigation and organic farming, and to develop and transfer new techniques. The program shall be organized as part of an overall agricultural development plan, co-ordinated between the two states at the highest level, to ensure smooth and effective development of agricultural production to meet the demands of the growing populations of the two states and viable as exports.
9.16 Seventh, the energy sector shall be given substantial investment to develop offshore gas resources, seek and exploit possible oil resources, and develop solar power in the south of the countries, hydro-electric power or hydro-desalination and other innovative energy sources (annex 14.2). Transport of energy shall receive the necessary investment to enable the energy infrastructure to meets the demands placed on it by the expansion of population and industry.
9.17 Eighth, the water sector shall be jointly developed within the principles of this agreement and in particular shall be subject to the principle of parity. Use of water shall be equal by the states and their citizens and responsibly managed to preserve the aquifers under the land for future use, equally, by both states. A water management plan, co-ordinated between the two states at the highest level, shall guide the exploitation, preservation and protection of water resources. Additionally to this plan, external contributors to the international support for this process of economic development shall undertake the provision of water to the states, equally and on a large scale, through the Danube Water Project (annex 14). The water management plan shall take account of the progress of this project but shall not rely on it to deliver sufficient water to replenish the aquifers before it is fully operational.
9.18 Localization of Production. The process of economic development as described in this article and funded through the international community shall be carried out under a principle of localization of production. Wherever articles, equipment or materials are required to carry the process forward, local sources within the Land shall be used in preference to importing the requirements into either of the two states. Where investment is possible to enable local production of the required articles, equipment or materials, this investment shall be undertaken in preference to importing finished articles, equipment or materials.
9.19 The Palestinian Currency. Immediately upon this agreement coming into effect, a process of international consultation shall begin to establish the Bank of Palestine. The Bank shall issue the Palestinian currency, taking international advice and following fiscal policies to ensure the convertibility and viability of the currency.
