Abstract

The article undertakes a legal positivist analysis of the two core issues of international law which inform the Israel/Palestine dispute. The first of these is the present lawful extent and delimitation of the territory of the state of Israel and, conversely, of the territory to which the Palestinian people are entitled as the basis of a future Palestinian state. The second is whether Israel is under an international legal obligation to repatriate those Palestinian Arabs who fled abroad in 1947–1949, along with their descendants, and to restore to them their property, and whether, or in the alternative whether, it is obliged by international law to compensate them.

Keywords: Palestine, international law
