Most negotiations relating to the territories have been on the basis of UN Security Council Resolution 242, which emphasises "the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war", and calls on Israel to withdraw from occupied territories in return for normalization of relations with Arab states, a principle known as "Land for peace".
与领土有关的大多数谈判都是基于联合国安理会第242号决议，其中强调“不容许以战争获得领土”，并呼吁以色列撤出占领的领土，以换取与阿拉伯国家的正常关系，这是一个“以土地换和平”的原则。
