Japan has consistently supported a "two-state solution" whereby Israel and an independent Palestinian state coexist and prosper together as Japan’s basic policy. To achieve this goal, Japan has pursued three pillars of its contribution to peace in the Middle East: (1) political approach to the two sides; (2) assistance to the Palestinians’ efforts for state building and human resource development; and (3) confidence building measures between the two sides. Japan has also worked for promoting trust between Israel and its neighbors by promoting regional cooperation through development projects and technical cooperation. Based on these principles, Japan has set the promotion of economic and social independence of the Palestinians as its basic policy of Official Development Assistance (ODA), and has focused on the following priority areas: (1) stability and betterment of people's livelihoods based on human security; (2) reinforcement of governmental financial base and administrative capacity; and (3) support for economic independence.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">One initiative that represents Japan's support for Palestine is the "Corridor for Peace and Prosperity".
