A political statement for Israeli-Palestinian Peace

The State of Israel was created in 1948 but the Palestinian state has yet to be created.  The Green Line border set in the armistice agreements of 1949 marks the line that designates the basis of the future border between Israel and Palestine.  Since the beginning of the occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem following the June 1967 war, the green line border has been gradually disappearing.  Walk the GREEN LINE is a political statement aimed at marking the line where the future border should be so that Israeli-Palestinian peace can emerge and develop.

Participants in the Walk the GREEN LINE are making a statement in support of Palestinian-Israeli peace based on the "two-states for two peoples" formula.

The Walk the GREEN LINE event is being organized by IPCRI - the Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information. All proceeds from the Walk the GREEN LINE event will be used by IPCRI in support of activities that bring Israelis and Palestinians together for advancing peace on the basis of the two-states for two peoples solution.

IPCRI believes that the two-states for two peoples solution is the ultimate fulfillment of the national strategic interests of both the Palestinian and Israeli peoples. IPCRI stands for resolving the conflict through direct negotiations assisted by the international community.  IPCRI believes that the solution must be based on respect of international law and legitimacy.  The solution must be found based on the June 4, 1967 borders with Jerusalem serving as the capitals for the two states.  Where there will be Palestinian sovereignty, there will be no Israeli settlements (unless agreed to by the Palestinians in negotiations).  IPCRI supports cooperation between the two states and is working towards the development of a regional community of cooperation in the fields of economics, environment and water and alternative forms of energy. IPCRI hopes that peace will include open borders with high levels of cooperation that will bring mutual gains and benefits.
