Русская версияAn Israeli newspaper has reported that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
has offered the Palestinians a peace plan giving them 93 percent of
the occupied West Bank.
The Haaretz newspaper said the proposal
offers the Palestinians land in the southern Israeli Negev desert
as compensation for the territory that Israel wants to annex. The
area would be slightly less than the seven percent of the West Bank
that Israel wants to accommodate its major settlement blocks. The
paper quoted a senior Israeli official as saying the plan also
included proposals on the Palestinian refugee problem and security,
but sidelined the issue of Jerusalem, a solution to which Olmert
has said he wants to postpone. The proposal has been made in the
context of US-backed peace talks relaunched in November.
