Summary of Olmert's “Package” Offer to Abu Mazen1 (Made on 31 August C ONFIDENTIAL NOT FOR D ISTRIBUTION Summary of Olmert’s “Package” Offer to Abu Mazen1 (Made on 31 August 2008) General The preamble will state that the agreement represents the implementation of UNSC Res. 242 and 338, as well as fulfillment of the API (no mention of UNGA Res. 194). Territory2 Israel would annex 6.8% of the West Bank, 3 including the four main settlement “blocs” of Gush ‘Etzion (with Efrata), Ma’ale Adumim, Giv’at Ze’ev and Ariel), as well as all of the settlements in East Jerusalem (with Har Homa), in exchange for the equivalent of 5.5% from Israeli territory. The “safe passage” (i.e., territorial link) between Gaza and the West Bank would be under Israeli sovereignty with Palestinian control, and is not included in the above percentages. There will be a special road connecting Bethlehem with Ramallah, thus by-passing East Jerusalem (most likely the same road currently planned around Adumim). East Jerusalem would be divided territorially along the lines of the Clinton Parameters, with the exception of the “Holy Basin”, whose sovereignty would be delayed to a later stage (see Jerusalem below). There was no mention of the Jordan Valley. Jerusalem Sovereignty over the “Holy Basin”, which Olmert said comprises 0.04% of the West Bank (approximately 2.2 km2), would be delayed to a later stage. The issue would continue to be negotiated bilaterally between Israel and Palestine with the involvement of the United States, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt, but without the ability of these third parties to force an agreement on the parties. Refugees Israel would acknowledge the suffering of – but not responsibility for – Palestinian refugees (language is in the preamble). In parallel, there must also be a mention of Israeli (or Jewish) suffering. Israel would take in 1,000 refugees per year for a period of 5 years on “humanitarian” grounds. In addition, programs of “family reunification” would continue. Israel would contribute to the compensation of the refugees through the mechanism and based on suffering. Not clear what the heads of damage for compensation would be, just that there would be no acknowledgement of responsibility for the refugees, and that compensation, and not restitution or return (apart from the 5,000), would be the only remedy. Security The “package” apparently made no mention of security. 1 Summary is based on information provided by Dr. Erakat on 9 September 2008. 2 A map was presented to Abu Mazen but he was not allowed to keep it. See revised NSU map projections (jersep08P.pdf and wbgazasep08P.pdf). 3 Percentages are based on Israeli calculations for the West Bank (i.e., excluding the NML and East Jerusalem).

  • 78% of Construction Was in “Isolated Settlements”*
    Peace Now’s Annual Settlement Construction Report for 2017 Construction Starts in Settlements were 17% Above Average in 2017 78% of Construction was in “Isolated Settlements”* Settlement Watch, Peace Now Key findings – Construction in the West Bank, 2017 (East Jerusalem excluded) 1 According to Peace Now's count, 2,783 new housing units began construction in 2017, around 17% higher than the yearly average rate since 2009.2 78% (2,168 housing units) of the new construction was in settlements east of the proposed Geneva Initiative border, i.e. settlements that are likely to be evicted in a two-state agreement. 36% (997 housing units) of the new construction was in areas that are east of the route of the separation barrier. Another 46% (1,290 units) was between the built and the planned route of the fence. Only 18% was west of the built fence. At least 10% (282 housing units) of the construction was illegal according to the Israeli laws applied in the Occupied Territories (regardless of the illegality of all settlements according to the international law). Out of those, 234 units (8% of the total construction) were in illegal outposts. The vast majority of the new construction, 91% (2,544 housing units), was for permanent structures, while that the remainder 9% were new housing units in the shape of mobile homes both in outposts and in settlements. 68 new public buildings (such as schools, synagogues etc.) started to be built, alongside 69 structures for industry or agriculture. Advancement of Plans and Tenders (January-December 2017) 6,742 housing units were advanced through promotions of plans for settlements, in 59 different settlements (compared to 2,657 units in 2016).

  • Educating for Success
    EDUCATING FOR SUCCESS It was a cold and rainy day in December 1975. There were only a handful of communities in Judea and the Jordan Valley at the time, but a small group of visionary pioneers decided to change that. They put out the word, and thousands converged upon an abandoned railway station near Sebastia, the Roman name given to the Biblical city of Samaria. The Government of Israel opposed this pioneering initiative, but when confronted with the masses who clamored for settlement in Samaria, they acquiesced. Thirty families were permitted to settle in a nearby army base, and the community of Kedumim was born. I was in Jerusalem at the time, and when I heard about this brave new venture, I hitched a ride to that army base. I personally witnessed the commitment and spirit of innovation that the pioneers shared. They were creative and determined to reach their goal — to settle Judea and Samaria. Today, Kedumim is an established town, but it remains true to its original spirit. Today, that spirit is apparent in Lehava High School for Girls. For years, this school was at the forefront of Ethiopian immigrant absorption in Israel. Today, the needs are different. Too many youngsters lack the motivation to study, missing the relevance of their school work. Lehava has recently launched a center for initiative and leadership as an optional program for middle school students. Students are encouraged to look at their own reality and identify problems or needs that require solutions, whether it be a humanitarian need, a technological failing, or anything else.

In June 2002, when Palestinian attacks against Israeli citizens were at their peak, the Israeli government decided to build the barrier and termed it a temporary security measure intended to protect Israel from terrorist attacks from the West Bank.
