A Land For All (organization)
A Land for All (, ; previously known as Two States, One Homeland) is an Israeli-Palestinian movement comprising Israeli Jews, Palestinian citizens of Israel, and Palestinians, which proposes a two-state confederation as the solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

The movement was founded under a joint Israeli-Palestinian leadership in 2012. Its co-CEOs are Israeli Jew May Pundak, daughter of Ron Pundak, and Palestinian citizen of Israel, Dr. Rula Hardal.
