Abstract

In the wake of the failure of the “classic” two‐state solution to make headway since the collapse of the Camp David negotiations in 2000, the idea of a confederal solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict is being increasingly seen as a realistic political format by Palestinians and Israelis of both the left and the right. Examples and models of reconciliation and confederation are discussed in this article and certain myths, including that religious strictures are unchangeable, are challenged. The author concludes that confederation is possible, though admittedly difficult, and seems the only viable alternative to the stalemated status quo. Tras el fracaso de la solución “clásica” de dos estados para avanzar desde el colapso de las negociaciones de Camp David en 2000, la idea de una solución confederal al conflicto palestino‐israelí se ve cada vez más como un formato político realista. por palestinos e israelíes tanto de izquierda como de derecha. Se discuten ejemplos y modelos de reconciliación y confederación y se cuestionan algunos mitos, incluido el de que las restricciones religiosas son inmutables. El autor concluye que la confederación es posible, aunque ciertamente difícil, y parece la única alternativa viable al statu quo estancado. 自2000年戴维营谈判破裂以来,“经典”的两国解决方案未能取得进展,随后出现的“针对以巴冲突的联盟解决方案”的观点越来越被两国左翼及右翼人士视为一种现实的政治安排。探讨了和解与联盟的例子和模式,并质疑了包括不可改变的宗教约束等传闻。作者的结论认为,尽管具有不可否认的困难性,但建立联盟是有可能的,并且似乎是当前僵局的唯一可行替代方案。
