Under Meretz's plan, Israel would help Palestine be accepted as a UN member, and be the first country to recognize the new state.

Meretz chief Zahava Gal-On is promoting a peace plan that would replace the Oslo Accords with a new timetable to end the conflict. Under the plan, Israel would help Palestine be accepted as the 194th member of the United Nations and be the first country to recognize the new state.
"Without determining who is to blame for what, the Oslo process must be replaced by a new paradigm," Gal-On told Haaretz. "A Palestinian state is an Israeli interest, so Israel must be the first to recognize it and support its acceptance by the UN."
Gal-On hopes to have the plan approved by Meretz before the next elections.
Under the plan, Israel would declare without preconditions that the conflict must be solved by ending the occupation based on the 1967 borders, with 1:1 land swaps. Meanwhile, Jerusalem would be divided based on the proposals by former U.S. President Bill Clinton - Jewish neighborhoods to Israel, Palestinian neighborhoods to Palestine, and special status for the Holy Basin.
