To revive the peace process, Netanyahu postpones…
May 1997 CE
To revive the peace process, Netanyahu postpones deadlocked interim negotiations and proposes moving directly to "final status" talks on the key issues of borders, Jewish settlements, Palestinian refugees, and Jerusalem.
His final status proposals, however, fall far short of minimal Palestinian aspirations.
Although never precisely articulated, his plan offers the Palestinians about fifty percent of the West Bank, in five separate areas cut off from each other by "strategic roads" that would remain under Israeli control.
