Summary
To make the transition to a viable Palestinian state possible, a number of issues related to how the State of Israel and the future State of Palestine will carry on state-to-state issues must be addressed.

International Law
Israel’s obligations and our rights with respect to State-to-State issues are enumerated under international law, including the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention and the 1907 Hague Regulations.

Our Position
For the PLO, the primary goals of permanent status negotiations are to achieve a complete and definitive end to Israel’s occupation of our territory and to create a fully independent and sovereign Palestinian state.
