Intermittent discussions are held by various parties and proposals put forward in an attempt to resolve the ongoing [[Israeli–Palestinian conflict]] through a [[peace process]].<ref>Eran, Oded. "Arab-Israel Peacemaking." ''The Continuum Political Encyclopedia of the Middle East''. Ed. [[Avraham Sela]]. New York: Continuum, 2002, p. 121.</ref> Since the 1970s, there has been a parallel effort made to find terms upon which peace can be agreed to in both the [[Arab–Israeli conflict]] and in the Palestinian–Israeli conflict. Notably the [[Camp David Accords]] between [[Egypt]] and [[Israel]], which included discussions on plans for "Palestinian autonomy", but did not include any Palestinian representatives. The autonomy plan would not be implemented, but its stipulations would to a large extent be represented in the [[Oslo Accords]].<ref name="Rashid Khalidi">{{cite book |author=Rashid Khalidi |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LHYPnxwPnlwC&pg=PA |title=Brokers of Deceit |publisher=Beacon Press |year=2013 |isbn=978-0-8070-4476-6 |pages=}}</ref>

Despite the failure of the peace process to produce a final agreement, the international consensus has for decades supported a two-state solution to the conflict, based on [[United Nations Security Council Resolution 242]] and [[United Nations Security Council Resolution 338|338]]. This includes the establishment of an independent Palestinian state under the [[Green Line (Israel)|pre-1967 borders]] including [[East Jerusalem]] and a just resolution to the refugee problem based on the [[Palestinian right of return]] (in accordance with [[United Nations General Assembly Resolution 194]]).<ref name="Norman G.

A final settlement as stipulated by the Oslo Accords has yet to be reached.<ref name="Noura Erakat">{{cite book |author=Noura Erakat |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-zGUDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA |title=Justice for Some |publisher=Stanford University Press |year=2019 |isbn=978-1-5036-0883-2 |pages=}}</ref>
