Two Stars for Peace solution
Encyclopedia
The Two Stars for Peace solution is a proposed agreement for Israelis and Palestinians to secure their mutual futures by petitioning the United States Congress
to become the 51st and 52nd U.S. states. Dr. Martine Rothblatt
first proposed the idea in her book Two Stars for Peace, published in 2003. Since first proposed, there has been no known significant push to implement this idea over the commonly sought two-state solution
, and there is no evidence that it is even considered a serious proposal among any major parties involved in the conflict.
On May 10, 2010, Dr. Rothblatt delivered a lecture on the Two Stars for Peace solution at Ben Gurion University of the Negev, at the invitation of its Board of Governors. Highlights of the lecture were prominently reported by the Maariv
newspaper in its May 9, 2010 edition. The lecture is now posted at 2stars4peace.
On February 14, 2011, Dr. Rothblatt funded an exploratory trip by Ulrike Reinhard
to Israel and Palestine. The objective is to do some background research for a new web initiative with respect to Two Stars for Peace.
