A Land for All (organization)

A Land for All (Arabic: بلاد للجميع, Hebrew: ארץ לכולם; previously known as Two States, One Homeland) [1] is an Israeli-Palestinian movement comprising Israeli Jews, Palestinian citizens of Israel, and Palestinians, which proposes a two-state confederation as the solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict. This solution promotes the existence of two sovereign states in the Israeli and Palestinian territories, based on shared principles of equality, freedom and dignity.[2]

The movement was founded under joint Israeli-Palestinian leadership 2012. Its co-CEOs are Israeli Jew May Pundak, daughter of Ron Pundak[3] and Palestinian citizen of Israel, Dr. Rula Hardal.[4] The movement was born out of a series of meetings between Meron Rappaport, an Israeli journalist, and Awni Al-Mahshni, a Palestinian activist. Palestinian and Israeli journalists, scholars and activists gradually joined these meetings to formulate a statement of shared principles for coexistence.[2][5]

The movement is a member of Alliance for Middle East Peace, and won the Outstanding Peace Support Award Luxembourg Peace Prize in 2021.[6][7]
