The question of what Palestinians want is complex and multifaceted. Here are some of the key desires and goals that have been expressed by Palestinians:

• End to Israeli military occupation: Palestinians want an end to Israels military occupation and full control over their own security.

• Recognition of Palestinian statehood: Both Israelis and Palestinians want recognition of their respective states by the other and the international community.

• Return of refugees: Palestinians have long demanded that refugees should be allowed to return, along with millions of their descendants.

• Control over East Jerusalem: Palestinians want East Jerusalem, which includes sites sacred to Muslims, Jews, and Christians, to be the capital of their state.

• Reclaiming all of historic Palestine: A majority of Palestinians say they prefer to reclaim all of historic Palestine, including the pre-1967 Israel.

• One-state solution: A one-state solution with Arabs and Jews holding equal rights comes in second.

• Redress for forced displacement: Palestinians also want acknowledgment of and redress for their forced displacement.

It is worth noting that there is no Palestinian popular majority that supports permanent peace with Israel, including a majority even among the younger generation. While some Palestinians support a two-state solution, others have rejected it in favor of a one-state solution or reclaiming all of historic Palestine. Additionally, the political situation in Palestine is complex, with different factions and groups holding different views and goals.
