Executive Summary: After a century of conflict, the future of Palestine remains uncertain, suspended between the legitimate aspiration of a people to freedom and the complexities of geopolitical interests. The resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with its persistent challenges related to occupation, settlements and Jerusalem, remains the cornerstone of peace in the region. The two-State solution, difficult to implement, remains the preferred framework, but other scenarios are not to be excluded (one-State solution, continuation of the status quo, escalation of conflict, etc.). The future of Palestine is not yet written and depends on a multitude of interrelated factors, including the resilience of its people, or on choices made by the international community and its international and regional powers and organizations in the face of oppression. It is ultimately a moral issue that challenges the world’s conscience about the notions of justice and dignity in the 19th century. A lasting peace in the Middle East, and potentially beyond, will remain out of reach without the recognition and guarantee of the fundamental rights and aspirations of the Palestinians, including the right to return and the right to self-determination.
