Hanegbi was a supporter of the two-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict until the late summer of 2003 arguing that it was the only solution to the conflict. Then, he supported the one-state solution on a binational basis concerning the conflict. The model he advocated included a federation between Palestinians and Israelis who would have the executive, legislative and constitutional authorities on an equal and agreed basis.
