Imagine that Israel and the Palestinians return to negotiations that try to achieve an agreement that ends the conflict. Imagine that these negotiations result in a final status agreement between the government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority that includes the following details:

1967 border with some land swaps that allow most Jewish settlers to
remain in Israel.
• A Palestinian capital in the Arab neighborhoods of East Jerusalem.
