Isratin

Isratin (Hebrew: יִשְׂרָטִין, Yisrātīn; Arabic: إسراطين‎, Isrātīn) (also known as the bi-national state Hebrew: מדינה דו-לאומית, medina du-le'umit), is a term descriptive of a unitary, federal or confederate Israeli-Palestinian state entity encompassing the present territory of Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Depending on various points of view, such a scenario is presented as a nightmare situation in which Israel would ostensibly lose its character as a Jewish state and the Palestinians would fail to achieve their national independence within a two-state solution or, alternatively, as a desirable one-state solution to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Increasingly, such scenario is being discussed not as an intentional political solution - desired or undesired - but as the probable, inevitable outcome of the continuous growth of the Jewish settlements in the West Bank and the apparently irrevocable entrenchment of the Israeli occupation there since 1967.
