This book critically analyzes the Palestinian legal arguments against
Israeli occupation and in favor of Palestinian statehood. For the past
two decades, Palestinians have chosen to pursue their claims against
the Israeli occupation through litigation at the international courts.
It is therefore appropriate, the author contends, to analyze the
merits of the Palestinian legal claims separately from their political
claims. To do so, the book comprises five parts: Part I addresses the
role of international law in the conflict as well as Palestinian legal
framing and lawfare. Part II recounts the relevant legal history,
including the crucial legal implications of the Oslo Accords. Part III
analyzes Palestinian legal claims regarding the West Bank and the Gaza
Strip. Part IV assesses the Palestinian legal case for statehood. Part
V analyzes Palestinian legal claims regarding Jerusalem. Ultimately,
it is argued that the Palestinian legal case is weak even though the
two-state solution continues to represent the most viable long-term
political outcome to the conflict. Moreover, the author suggests that
Palestinian leaders have repeatedly opted for conflict perpetuation
through lawfare and violence, rather than conflict resolution through
negotiation. Providing fresh insights into the claims and
counterclaims of Palestinian legal arguments, the book will appeal
broadly to anyone interested in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and
international law.
