Draft:The canton plan

The canton plan is one of the alternatives proposed over the years as a solution to the territorial conflict between Jews and Arabs in the Land of Israel. The basis of the plan is the idea of establishing a series of regional sub-political entities that would allow their residents self-determination in cultural and civil matters, while decisions on issues such as foreign affairs and security would be made by a federal government. This model was proposed several times during the British Mandate period by various parties since the 1920s, and in recent years, since the late 1980s, it has been occasionally raised again by both civil and governmental entities.
