Objectives/positions
- Two states for two nations — Israel and Palestine
- A Palestinian state alongside the State of Israel, based on the borders of June 1967 with land swaps agreed upon by both sides
- Jerusalem — In an official document from 1982 Peace Now advocated for an undivided Jerusalem as Israel's capital. It has since shifted its position to two capitals for two states – a solution based on demographic breakdowns with a special agreement for the Old City.
- Peace with Syria — A peace agreement based on secure and recognized borders, and the regulation of relations between the two countries is the primary strategic issue for the people of Israel and Syria.
- Beginning negotiations with Syria is a gateway to negotiations with Lebanon and will help create a new international mood in the region.
- Peace Now views the settlements as a threat to the existence of Israel as a democratic and Jewish state.
- Peace Now views the settlements as a main obstacle to any future peace agreement.
- Peace Now views the settlements as an element that harms the State of Israel on many fronts: security, economically, morally culturally. They also harm Israel's standing in the international community.

Famous quotes containing the words objectives and/or positions:
“Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“... liberal intellectuals ... tend to have a classical theory of politics, in which the state has a monopoly of power; hoping that those in positions of authority may prove to be enlightened men, wielding power justly, they are natural, if cautious, allies of the “establishment.””
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
