  • Administrating Future Jerusalem
    Jerusalem under Permanent Status: Available Models for Civil and Security Arrangements in the Spirit of the Geneva Initiative Introduction Jerusalem is a focal point of friction between Israel and the Palestinian people. The differences between the two sides are based on both symbolic and practical elements. It is clear to most observers that, however, that the complexities and difficulties notwithstanding, a solution to the conflict is not impossible. Not only is a solution not impossible, but it is critical to overall relations between Palestinians and Israelis. Indeed, the kind of solutions and relations achieved between the parties in Jerusalem may very well have an important impact on the future of the region at large. The following paper outlines some possible solutions, with special emphasis on the Geneva Initiative model. It was drafted by a team of Israeli and Palestinian experts – led, on the Palestinian side, by Dr. Nazmi Jubeh, and, on the Israeli side, especially as concerns security arrangements in Jerusalem, by Brig. Gen. (res.) Ilan Paz. The authors of this paper wish to underline that all the models discussed, including that of the Geneva Initiative, have their unique limitations and constrains. But as is the case of the Geneva Initiative model, it reflects what both side can agree upon after having formulated their minimum requirements and red lines. The paper is divided into two main sections. In the first section, titled "Background and General Overview," the authors explain the rationale for finding a solution to the issue of Jerusalem, describe the existing starting points of both sides, and outline the various models, including a detailed description of the Geneva Initiative model, for resolving the conflict.
