All further incitement to violent struggle should be considered illegal, and all military organizations in historical Palestine and its neighbouring countries should be considered illegal – only excluding the national defense forces of Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, and the peacekeeping troops of the United Nations.

1.2 Fortifying of border zones

The internationally recognized border zones between independent states can be fortified, as is customary in many parts of the world, often including a security fence or a solid wall. Such constructions should be subject to the same requirements of esthetic quality as any other buildings, especially in locations close to major urban centers. (The classical and highly attractive style of walls built before the 20th century should be the norm in densely populated areas.)

1.3 Transportation of passengers and freight

When a peace agreement has been signed, undelayed and uninspected transportation of passengers and freight should be guaranteed for Palestinians between all parts of the West Bank, 24 hours a day and on every day of the year.

Passengers who are not carrying much luggage, should be guaranteed undelayed and uninspected transportation between Gaza and Hebron, at least 16 hours a day and on every day of the year. (In the beginning, while permanent solutions are being planned and constructed, which preferably will be based on an underground tunnel, the transportation can be arranged in buses travelling in convoys escorted by Israeli defense forces.)

Transportation of freight and heavy luggage between Gaza and Hebron should be guaranteed at least 8 hours a day and five days a week (excluding Friday, Saturday, and the national holidays of Israel or Arab countries), until a permanent solution is constructed for transportation of passengers and freight 24 hours a day and on every day of the year.

Passengers who are not carrying much luggage, should have the right to travel between Palestinian territories and the rest of the world without being delayed or inspected by Israeli authorities.

Transportation of freight and heavy luggage between Palestinian territories and the rest of the world should be arranged at least 8 hours a day and five days a week, inspected by security personnel authorized by the United Nations (to ensure that the agreements concerning demilitarization are being observed).


2. Historical justice to Arabs and Jews

During the violent struggle between Jews and Arabs in the early 20th century, approximately 700,000 Arabs left their homes in Palestine, and were registered as refugees by the United Nations. Today this Palestinian refugee population has grown to more than four million people.
