The INSS Plan: A Political-Security Framework for the Israeli-Palestinian Arena

(Institute for National Security Studies-Tel Aviv University) The Palestinian parameters for a peace agreement are clearly unacceptable to the vast majority of people in Israel, fall short of assuring sufficient security and demographic conditions, and fail to guarantee the end of the conflict. INSS experts, together with former senior Israeli officials, have worked to design a plan that would take the dominant paradigms on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to a new stage.

We aim to shape Israel by our founding fathers' principles, without being held hostage to the Palestinians' veto.
