Erekat: Olmert offered Palestinians territorial equivalent of West Bank

Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat confirmed Thursday that former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert had offered a final peace settlement that would include territorial concession equivalent to the entire West Bank, the return of thousands of Palestinian refugees into the West Bank, and the division of Jerusalem.

Erekat said Palestinian officials were opposed to the dissolution of the Palestinian Authority, calling its formation the “result of a long struggle, and should not be considered a favor to Israel.”

He also accused the Israeli government of acting like a “mafia” in freezing funds to the PA in light of its recent acceptance as a full member of UNESCO.


Erekat stated furthermore that despite Israel’s continual policy of “occupation and settlement building,” an aerial photograph provided by European sources shows that settlements have been built on approximately 1.1% of the West Bank, thus legitimizing the Palestinian demand for a withdrawal to borders based on the June 4, 1967 borders.

Wow. 1.1%. Now, if it was just 1% that would be one thing, but 1.1%. whoaaa doggie.

Bank. Is it fertile?

Israel has destroyed far more jewish settlements than that. If necessary, they would do the same again. That is what a good broker of peace does.

the W Bank to Gaza

Either way, it was summarily rejected due to palestinian rejectionism.
