    Does this mean that the UN unambiguously rejects the one state solution?

This would enable many Palestinians to live and work in Israel and many Israelis [who now get dual citizenship] the right to live and work in Palestine. Make the border irrelevent since anyone can buy property or move anywhere.

    This is what India wants to do with the line of control in Kashmir.
