LAND FOR PEACE (THE FUTURE 7 YEARS OF HELL ON EARTH)

JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

THE WEEK OF DANIEL 9:27 WE KNOW ITS 7 YRS

Heres the scripture 1 week = 7 yrs Genesis 29:27-29
27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.

DANIEL 9:26-27
26 And after threescore and two weeks(62X7=434 YEARS+7X7=49 YEARS=TOTAL OF 69 WEEKS OR 483 YRS) shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;(ROMAN LEADERS DESTROYED THE 2ND TEMPLE) and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.(THERE HAS TO BE 70 WEEKS OR 490 YRS TO FUFILL THE VISION AND PROPHECY OF DAN 9:24).(THE NEXT VERSE IS THAT 7 YR WEEK OR (70TH FINAL WEEK).
27 And he( THE ROMAN,EU PRESIDENT) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:(1X7=7 YEARS) and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(3 1/2 yrs in TEMPLE SACRIFICES STOPPED) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

ISAIAH 28:14-19 (THIS IS THE 7 YR TREATY COVENANT OF DANIEL 9:27)
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

DANIEL 8:23-25
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king (EU DICTATOR) of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences,(FROM THE OCCULT) shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power:(SATANS POWER) and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes;(JESUS) but he shall be broken without hand.

IF ANYTHING IT WOULD BE SAUDI ARABIA WORKING WITH THE OWNER OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER TOWERS TO PUT BOMBS IN THE TOWERS THAT BROUGHT THEM DOWN BECAUSE GEORGE W PROBABLY NEVER WANTED THE PALESTINIANS TO HAVE A STATE OF THEIR OWN AND WAS FAVORING ISRAEL.

BY SAUDI ARABIA ATTACKING THE WORLD TRADE CENTER TOWERS IT GAVE GEORGE W A MESSAGE THAT USE BETTER STICK WITH THE PALESTINIANS AND SAUDI ARABIA AND NOT TO ISRAEL OR THIS WILL BE HAPPENING ALL OVER AMERICA. AND NOTICE AFTER 2001 ATTACK THE SAUDIS MADE A PEACE PLAN IN 2002. I DON'T THINK THIS IS AN ACCIDENT,I THINK THE SAUDIS WANTED CONTROL IN THE PEACE PROCESS. AND AS OF TODAY AMERICA-ISRAEL ARE GOING BY THE 2002 SAUDI PEACE PLAN,NO ACCIDENT,I BELIEVE THE SAUDIS SCARED AMERICA AND ISRAEL INTO THEIR PEACE PLAN THAT WOULD DIVIDE JERUSALEM AND GIVE THE PALESTINIANS A STATE OF THEIR OWN.

I DO NOT BELIEVE THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ATTACK,BUT THE SAUDIS SET EVERYTHING UP AND AMERICA WAS FORCED TO COVER THE 911 ATTACK UP OR THE SAUDIS WOULD CUT THEIR TIES AND WOULD TERRORIZE AMERICA BIGTIME.

August 29-September 6, 2001: Bush Tries to Repair Relations with Saudis, But Policy Change Halted by 9/11 Attacks The Bush administration attempts to repair its relation with Saudi Arabia after a dramatic letter from Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah. On August 27, 2001, Abdullah, the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia, sent a message to President Bush threatening to end the Saudi alliance with the US because of what they see as US favoritism towards Israel (see August 27, 2001). Two days later, Bush sends a two-page letter to Abdullah: Let me make one thing clear up front: nothing should ever break the relationship between us. There has been no change in the strategic equation. I firmly believe the Palestinian people have a right to self-determination and to live peacefully and securely in their own state, in their own homeland, just as the Israelis have the right to live peacefully and safely in their own state. Journalist Bob Woodward will later note that this was a much bigger step than President Clinton had taken. Even as Clinton had tried to fashion a Middle East peace agreement as his legacy, he had never directly supported a separate Palestinian state. On September 6, Abdullah replies, Mr. President, it was a great relief to me to find in your letter a clear commitment confirming the principle in which the peace process was established. I was particularly pleased with your commitment to the right of the Palestinians to self-determination as well as the right to peace without humiliation, within their independent state.The Saudis appear appeased. [Woodward, 2006, pp. 77-79] Also on September 6, Bush holds a meeting with his top advisers and suggests a change of policy towards Palestine, including public support for a separate Palestinian state. However, days before Bush is to announce these new policies, the 9/11 attacks take place. None of the planned US policy changes materialize.

Text: Arab peace plan of 2002

This is the official translation of the Saudi-proposed Arab peace initiative adopted at the annual Arab League Summit in Beirut in 2002. The Council of the League of Arab States at the Summit Level, at its 14th Ordinary Session,

- Reaffirming the resolution taken in June 1996 at the Cairo Extra-Ordinary Arab Summit that a just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East is the strategic option of the Arab Countries, to be achieved in accordance with International Legality, and which would require a comparable commitment on the part of the Israeli Government.

- Having listened to the statement made by His Royal Highness Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in which his Highness presented his Initiative, calling for full Israeli withdrawal from all the Arab territories occupied since June 1967, in implementation of Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338, reaffirmed by the Madrid Conference of 1991 and the land for peace principle, and Israel's acceptance of an independent Palestinian State, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in return for the establishment of normal relations in the context of a comprehensive peace with Israel.

- Emanating from the conviction of the Arab countries that a military solution to the conflict will not achieve peace or provide security for the parties, the council:


1. Requests Israel to reconsider its policies and declare that a just peace is its strategic option as well.

2. Further calls upon Israel to affirm:

a. Full Israeli withdrawal from all the territories occupied since 1967, including the Syrian Golan Heights to the lines of June 4, 1967 as well as the remaining occupied Lebanese territories in the south of Lebanon.

b. Achievement of a just solution to the Palestinian Refugee problem to be agreed upon in accordance with UN General Assembly Resolution 194.

c. The acceptance of the establishment of a Sovereign Independent Palestinian State on the Palestinian territories occupied since the 4th of June 1967 in the West Bank and Gaza strip, with East Jerusalem as its capital.


3. Consequently, the Arab Countries affirm the following:

a. Consider the Arab-Israeli conflict ended, and enter into a peace agreement with Israel, and provide security for all the states of the region.

b. Establish normal relations with Israel in the context of this comprehensive peace.

4. Assures the rejection of all forms of Palestinian patriation which conflict with the special circumstances of the Arab host countries.

5. Calls upon the Government of Israel and all Israelis to accept this initiative in order to safeguard the prospects for peace and stop the further shedding of blood, enabling the Arab Countries and Israel to live in peace and good neighborliness and provide future generations with security, stability, and prosperity.

6. Invites the International Community and all countries and Organizations to support this initiative.

7. Requests the Chairman of the Summit to form a special committee composed of some of its concerned member states and the Secretary General of the League of Arab States to pursue the necessary contacts to gain support for this initiative at all levels, particularly from the United Nations, the Security Council, the United States of America, the Russian Federation, the Muslim States and the European Union.

Israel lauds Saudi peace plan before King Abdullah Wed Nov 12, 2008 5:06pm EST(adds Livni, background, paragraphs 10-13)By Louis Charbonneau

UNITED NATIONS, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Israeli President Shimon Peres seized the rare opportunity of being in the same hall as Saudi King Abdullah on Wednesday to praise a Saudi peace initiative that he said had brought hope to the Middle East.Addressing a special high-level U.N. General Assembly meeting on dialogue between different religions, Peres termed some of the language in an Arab peace proposal based on the Saudi initiative inspirational and promising -- a serious opening for real progress.

It was a rare moment -- an Israeli head of state speaking directly to the Saudi Arabian leader, whose country does not recognize Israel. Egypt and Jordan are the only Arab countries to have signed full peace accords with the Jewish state.Israeli officials, including Peres, have previously said Israel was seriously reconsidering the 2002 Saudi peace initiative, which calls for full Arab recognition of Israel if it gives up lands occupied in a 1967 war and accepts a solution for Palestinian refugees.But this was the first time a representative of Israel was able to address Abdullah directly.Your Majesty, the King of Saudi Arabia, I was listening to your message,Peres said from the podium after the king spoke of the need for religious tolerance and said terrorism was the enemy of religion.I wish that your voice will become the prevailing voice of the whole region, of all people,Peres told Abdullah. It's right, it's needed, it's promising.

LIVNI PRAISES SAUDI INITIATIVE

Unlike Peres, the king did not directly refer to the Saudi initiative when addressing the assembly.The initiative's portrayal of our region's future provides hope to the people and inspires confidence in the nations, Peres told the audience, which included U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and numerous Middle Eastern heads of state.Peres, whose position is largely ceremonial, holds little power. But Tzipi Livni, Israel's foreign minister and chief negotiator in talks with the Palestinians, joined Peres in praising the Saudis.The Saudi initiative itself is something that sent a very good message, Livni said at a news conference with Peres. Unfortunately, she said, the Arab proposal based on the Saudi plan was not as good, particularly on the issue of refugees.Livni, who could become prime minister after Israel's general election in February, added that Arab-Israeli peace needed to be hammered out in bilateral talks between Israel and the Palestinians and its Arab neighbors.Despite Peres' and Livni's newfound praise, Israel has never officially endorsed the Saudi initiative, citing reservations about refugees and Jerusalem.Peres said Israel was making progress in talks with the Palestinians and exploring the possibility of real peace with the Syrians, the last in the list of historic conflicts.However, there are those in our region who sow hatred and try to widen the abyss and erect barriers, those who seek to wipe out other people and encourage killing,Peres said.Disputes over Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, divisions among the Palestinians and Israel's recent political crisis have frustrated attempts by Washington to clinch an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal by the end of this year.U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Tuesday that he did not expect an agreement by then. (Editing by Cynthia Osterman)

Obama Favors Saudi Peace Plan For Israel/Palestine Conflict
From The Sunday TimesNovember 16, 2008Barack Obama links Israel peace plan to 1967 borders deal Uzi Mahnaimi in Tel Aviv and Sarah Baxter.

Barack Obama is to pursue an ambitious peace plan in the Middle East involving the recognition of Israel by the Arab world in exchange for its withdrawal to pre-1967 borders, according to sources close to America’s president-elect. Obama intends to More..throw his support behind a 2002 Saudi peace initiative endorsed by the Arab League and backed by Tzipi Livni, the Israeli foreign minister and leader of the ruling Kadima party. The proposal gives Israel an effective veto on the return of Arab refugees expelled in 1948 while requiring it to restore the Golan Heights to Syria and allow the Palestinians to establish a state capital in east Jerusalem.

On a visit to the Middle East last July, the president-elect said privately it would be crazy for Israel to refuse a deal that could give them peace with the Muslim world, according to a senior Obama adviser. The Arab peace plan received a boost last week when President Shimon Peres, a Nobel peace laureate and leading Israeli dove, commended the initiative at a Saudi-sponsored United Nations conference in New York.

Peres was loudly applauded for telling King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, who was behind the original initiative: I wish that your voice will become the prevailing voice of the whole region, of all people.A bipartisan group of senior foreign policy advisers urged Obama to give the Arab plan top priority immediately after his election victory. They included Lee Hamilton, the former co-chairman of the Iraq Study Group, and Zbigniew Brzezinski, a Democrat former national security adviser. Brzezinski will give an address tomorrow at Chatham House, the international relations think tank, in London. Brent Scowcroft, a Republican former national security adviser, joined in the appeal. He said last week that the Middle East was the most troublesome area in the world and that an early start to the Palestinian peace process was a way to psychologically change the mood of the region. Advisers believe the diplomatic climate favours a deal as Arab League countries are under pressure from radical Islamic movements and a potentially nuclear Iran. Polls show that Palestinians and Israelis are in a mood to compromise. The advisers have told Obama he should lose no time in pursuing the policy in the first six to 12 months in office while he enjoys maximum goodwill. Obama is also looking to break a diplomatic deadlock over Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons technology. A possible way forward, suggested last spring by Dennis Ross, a senior Obama adviser and former Middle East envoy, would be to persuade Russia to join in tough economic sanctions against Iran by offering to modify the US plan for a missile shield in eastern Europe. President Dmitry Medvedev signalled that Russia could cancel a tit-for-tat deployment of missiles close to the Polish border if America gave up its proposed missile defences in Poland and the Czech Republic.

Ross argued in a paper on How to Talk to Iran that if the Iranian threat goes away, so does the principal need to deploy these [antimissile] forces. [Vladimir] Putin [the Russian prime minister] has made this such a symbolic issue that this trade-off could be portrayed as a great victory for him. Ross and Daniel Kurtzer, a former American ambassador to Israel, accompanied Obama on a visit to Israel last July. They also travelled to Ramallah, where Obama questioned Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian leader, about the prospects for the Arab plan. According to a Washington source Obama told Abbas: The Israelis would be crazy not to accept this initiative. It would give them peace with the Muslim world from Indonesia to Morocco.Kurtzer submitted a paper to Obama on the question before this month’s presidential elections. He argued that trying to reach bilateral peace agreements between Israel and individual countries in the Middle East, was a recipe for failure as the record of Bill Clinton and George W Bush showed. In contrast, the broader Arab plan had a lot of appeal. A leading Democratic expert on the Middle East said: There’s not a lot of meat on the bones yet, but it offers recognition of Israel across the Arab world.Livni, the leader of Kadima, which favours the plan, is the front-runner in Israeli elections due in February. Her rival, Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of Likud, is adamantly against withdrawing to borders that predate the Six Day war in 1967. Ehud Olmert, the prime minister, last week expressed his support for Israel’s withdrawal from the West Bank Golan and east Jerusalem.

Israeli PM's final offer to Palestinians revealed
www.chinaview.cn 2009-03-27 06:20:04 Special Report: Palestine-Israel Conflicts by Xinhua writer Deng Yushan

JERUSALEM, March 26 (Xinhua) -- Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert proposed to return 93 percent of the West Bank to the Palestinians and to handle the Jerusalem question under an international framework as his final offer, local news service Ynet reported Thursday.Olmert made the promises to Palestinian National Authority (PNA)Chairman Mahmoud Abbas during a meeting in September, said the report, quoting senior officials as saying that the pledges marked Olmert's final offer to end the conflict.

There was one point when I put things on the table and offered Abbas something that had never been offered and dealt with the crux of the problem, with the most sensitive issues that touch the most exposed nerves and historical obstacles, Olmert was quoted as telling a political conference held near Tel Aviv on Thursday. In the offer, Israel would return 93 percent of the West Bank and evict over 60,000 settlers, while retaining large settlements in the Palestinian territories, according to the report, which added that the deal would also see the Jewish state cede control over some peripheral neighborhoods and refugee camps on the outskirts of Jerusalem.

As for the sovereignty of Jerusalem, which is regarded by Israel as its permanent and inalienable capital, and the east part of which is termed by Palestinians as the capital of their future state, Olmert proposed to tackle it under an international framework, revealed the report. The plan was also presented to the United States, an influential player in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and Olmert's office said that the staunch ally of Israel supported it, added the report. I told him (Abbas) let's sign.It was half a year ago and I'm still waiting, said Olmert on Thursday, who is set to be replaced by hawkish Benjamin Netanyahu as early as next week. Olmert and Abbas resumed the long-stalled peace talks at a U.S.-hosted international conference in Annapolis on Nov. 27, 2007, and pledged to reach a comprehensive peace deal in 2008.Yet the ambitious goal proved to be out of reach as both sides were largely paralyzed, respectively by an internal feud between Abbas' Fatah in the West Bank and the Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip and by a political turmoil that forced scandal-enveloped Olmert to leave office and Israel to hold a general election. Now that Netanyahu is set to present a new Israeli government dominated by right wingers, who traditionally hold hardline stances toward the peace process with the Palestinians, the peace prospect of the two neighbors seems increasingly blurry. Although the premier-designate has recently repeated his readiness to advance the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, Netanyahu stopped short of committing himself to the two-state solution, which both the United States and the PNA are backing. Meanwhile, his argument that Israel should first help develop the Palestinian economy before the two sides settle the core issues has also run into closed doors, triggering Palestinian criticism that he intends to obscure political issues with economic topics.

EU urges new Israeli government to accept Palestinian state Fri Mar 27, 5:19 pm ET

HLUBOKA NAD VLTAVOU, Czech Republic (AFP) – The European Union on Friday told Israel's incoming new government that there would be consequences if it does not accept the principle of a Palestinian state.Relations would become very difficult indeed, said Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg, whose country holds the rotating EU presidency.At one of our next ministerial meetings we would have to discuss what consequences the EU would draw from that, he told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting with his European Union counterparts at Hluboka castle in the southern Czech Republic.

Schwarzenberg did not elaborate.

One thing that could be jeopardised would be an idea to formally upgrade EU-Israeli ties.Israel's hawkish prime minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu, of the right-wing Likud party, plans to present his new government to parliament next week, following the Labour party's decision to join his coalition, which includes other right-wing and religious formations.The United States has warned that peace efforts, which have barely budged in recent years, will not be any easier under the hardline Netanyahu, who opposes the creation of a Palestinian state.Several other EU foreign ministers judged that an Israeli government which does not accept a two-sate solution would not be acceptable itself.We Europeans believe that the putting in place of a two-state solution remains the plan, said German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.The foreign ministers must send a clear message saying that if this is not the case, the EU cannot accept it,added Luxembourg's Jean Asselborn.Last year the EU decided to enhance ties with Israel but the idea has been a dead letter since the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip earlier this year.

Earlier the European Commission pledged to support the new Israeli government as long as it accepts certain benchmarks, including the principle of an autonomous Palestinian state.The European Commission is looking forward to working with the new Israeli government in pursuit of a common agenda, the EU executive's head Jose Manuel Barroso said in a message to Netanyahu.It stands ready to assist and support you in your search for peace, prosperity and security for the people in Israel and the region, based on the vision of two states living side by side in peace and prosperity, he said.The Europeans are the biggest donors of aid to the Palestinians but they hold little sway over Israel, which is backed firmly by the United States.

Turkish President Abdullah Gul, on a visit to Brussels, said he hoped that the new government would tone down the rhetoric that its parties have used while they were in opposition.If those statements are carried on in the government and they become government policy, then I have to warn that things would turn for the worse and it would create more suffering, he told reporters.It is for that reason that I believe that the Israeli leaders, when they form the government, will act responsibly.

EUROPEAN NEIGHBOURHOOD AND PARTNERSHIPINSTRUMENT ISRAELSTRATEGY PAPER 2007 - 2013 & INDICATIVE PROGRAMME 2007 - 2010

Executive Summary This Country Strategy Paper (CSP) for Israel covers the period 2007-2013. Support to Israel over thatperiod will be provided under the new European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) which is being established to provide assistance for the development of an area of prosperity and good neighbourliness involving the European Union and the partner countries covered by the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP).1Under this new instrument, specific assistance is provided to all partner countries that have concluded an Action Plan with the EU to support the implementation of the Action Plan. Funding levels for Israel under the national ENPI envelope are currently estimated at €14 million for the period 2007-2013. Israel will also be eligible under the ENPI regional and cross-border cooperation programmes. Given the scope of the allocation, the most suitable approach seems to be to concentrate on support activities for the implementation of the Action Plan priorities, mainly in the form of institutional cooperation. The principal objective of EU-Israel cooperation is to develop an increasingly close relationship between the EU and Israel, going beyond previous levels of cooperation, including a significant level of economic integration, and a deepening of political cooperation including in the area of foreign andsecurity policy and in the resolution of the Middle East conflict and on human rights issues, on the basis of the EU-Israel Action Plan. EC support over the period covered by this strategy will aim at supporting the attainment of the above policy objectives. Under the National Indicative Programme (NIP) 2007-2010 this translates into support for those areas identified as priorities of mutual interest, based on the ENP Action Plan. 1Regulation (EC) No 1638/2006 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 24October 2006 laying down general provisions establishing a European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument

3EUCOOPERATION OBJECTIVESOverall external policy goals of the EU The EU promotes its values and interests by operating as a global economic and political player, using various instruments ranging from the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), assistance and trade to the external dimension of the EU’s internal policies.In particular, the EU strives to promote prosperity, solidarity, security and sustainable developmentworldwide. It is of the utmost importance to the EU to define the right policy mix. That means that, in the light of the EU’s strategic external relations objectives, policy coherence needs to be ensured between all available instruments in dealing with Israel. Strategic objectives of EU/EC cooperation with Israel The EU/EC approach to cooperation with Israel is shaped by a combination of country-specific, regional and global strategic objectives: In the Association Agreement of 20 November 1995 the EU and Israel committed themselves to establishing a partnership which provides for close political and mutually beneficial trade and investment relations together with economic, social, financial, civil scientific, technological and cultural cooperation. The objective of the ENP, which was launched in the context of the 2004 enlargement round, is to share the EU’s stability, security and prosperity with neighbouring countries, including Israel, in a way that is distinct from EU membership. The ENP is designed to prevent the emergence of new dividing lines within and in the vicinity of Europe by offering neighbouring countries closer political, security,economic and cultural cooperation. It also addresses one of the European Union’s strategic objectives set out in the European SecurityStrategy of December 2003, namely to bolster security in the EU neighbourhood. ENP partners expect to gain closer cooperation with the EU, the chance to participate in EU programmes and a stake in the EU’s internal market. In the case of Israel, specific objectives have been established in the EU-IsraelENP Action Plan which was jointly endorsed in December 2004. Relations between the EU and Israel are also part of the Union’s wider efforts to contribute to a resolution of the Middle East conflict. The achievement of lasting peace in the Middle East is a central aim of the EU, whose main objective is a two-State solution leading to a final and comprehensive settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict based on implementation of the Road Map, with Israel and a democratic, viable, peaceful and sovereign Palestinian State living side-by-side in peace within secure and recognised borders and enjoying normal relations with their neighbours.

ISRAEL’S POLICY AGENDAIsrael, from the outset, expressed a keen interest in the ENP as an opportunity to improve and deepen bilateral relations. This is reflected in significant mobilisation of staff both in the Israeli Ministry ofForeign Affairs and in line ministries to follow and support implementation of the ENP Action Plan. The ENP is perceived in Israel as a useful complement to the Barcelona process, with its tailor-madeapproach allowing a focus on areas which have not been at the centre of the regional process, and providing the option of moving at its own pace in those areas identified by the EU and Israel as priorities. Israel’s level of ambition with regard to the ENP can therefore be considered as high. In the trade field, in particular, much emphasis is put by Israel on the parallelism between themultilateral and the bilateral track. Given its high level of development, the character of its traderelations with the EU, and the significance of the high-tech sector, the Israeli economy faces challenges that are different in some respects from those of the other Euro-Mediterranean countries. The discussions on conformity assessment agreements are one example of this specificity which calls for acustomised approach by the EU. Moreover, Israel is one of only two non-EU countries that are fully associated to the EU’s framework programmes for research and technological development. Apart from trade and research and innovation, Israel has shown special interest on a wide spectrum of sectors, in particular in the area of justice, freedom and security, education, and networks. ISRAEL’S OVERALL POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SITUATIONIsrael is a parliamentary democracy. It does not have a written constitution; instead the Declaration of Independence (1948), Supreme Court precedents and a series of Basic Laws provide the body of law. Israel declared itself a Jewish state, with its Declaration of Independence proclaiming equality for all citizens, irrespective of religion, race or sex. Israel’s overall political and economic situation is affected by the continuing conflict with the Palestinians and the state of relations with the Arab world in general. Israel has diplomatic relations with Egypt and Jordan following the conclusion of peace agreements in 1979 and 1994 respectively. The resurgence of suicide bombings since the beginning of the second Intifada in September 2000 is amatter of the highest security concern for Israel. Some of the measures taken by Israel in response tothis situation have been criticised by the UN and the EU as disproportionate or incompatible with its obligations under international law, inter alia in the latter’s recent General Affairs and ExternalRelations Council conclusions. In the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, concerns have also been expressed with regard to the human rights situation. Israel is constructing a separation barrier whose purpose, according to the government, is to protect theIsraeli population against terrorist attacks. The route of the barrier has been criticized by the EU, as it is built partially on occupied Palestinian land; Israel has made some adjustments to the route of the barrierin response to the High Court ruling that the barrier should take into account humanitarian needs of the Palestinians, the impact of which on the humanitarian situation has been limited.

Israel, once a traditional economy based on agriculture, light industry and labour-intensive production, evolved in the 1980s and 1990s into a knowledge-based economy, with internationally competitive services and industrial sector, investing 4,6% of GDP in Research & Development in 2004, making itone of the world’s biggest investors in R&D in GDP terms. The Israeli government continues to implement its Economic Recovery Plan, which it started in 2003, reducing corporate and income taxes, reforming the capital market, promoting foreign investment in Israel, and preparing tax reform to improve the competitiveness of the Israeli system. It also continues to implement welfare reform. The reduction of social transfers as part of this reform was aimed at increasing participation in the labour market. It has however also contributed to Israel’s position as one of the countries with the widest social gaps among developed countries. The EU is Israel’s largest trading partner. Israel is one of the EU’s biggest trading partners in the Euromed area, with total trade amounting to almost € 23 billion in 2005. The EU is the leading source of imports for Israel, and its second most important destination for exports. Excluding diamonds, total trade with the EU represented 35% of Israel’s total trade. Israel’s trade deficit with the EU amounts to 45% of its total trade deficit. The EU and Israel have officially launched the negotiations on the liberalisation of trade in services,agricultural products and processed agricultural goods. The services sector represents 77% of Israel'sGDP and already constitutes around one third of Israel's export. Similarly, services account for around three quarters of the EU's GDP. Trade in services is therefore instrumental in strengthening economic activity, attracting investment and enhancing the dynamics of the economy. OVERVIEW OF PAST AND ONGOING ECCOOPERATION (EXPERIENCE AND LESSONS LEARNT) To date, Israel has not received bilateral assistance owing to its high level of economic development.2Consequently, EC/EU cooperation with Israel has been limited to: programmes in support of civil society, mainly in the context of the EU Partnership for Peace programme and the European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights regional programmes under MEDA. Given that Israel has not previously benefited from EU support, it does not have experience in the management of EU funding. Participation in regional activities has frequently proved difficult for Israeli representatives in theabsence of bilateral diplomatic relations between Israel and some Euromed partner countries. With the creation of the ENPI, a limited bilateral financial allocation for Israel has been set aside forthe first time to support the implementation of the ENP Action Plan. Given the scope of the allocation, the most appropriate approach seems to be to concentrate on targeted support activities for the implementation of the Action Plan priorities, mainly institutional cooperation through Twinning/Twinning light. 2Israel has received and continues to receive substantial bilateral assistance from the United States. The United States Congress approved aid for 2006 of $3. 16 bn. It is made up of $ 2. 28 bn of military aid, (mainly buy-back), $ 600 mfor joint defence projects and $280 m for civilian aid

EC RESPONSE STRATEGY The principal objective of cooperation between the EU and Israel is to develop an increasingly close relationship, going beyond past levels of cooperation towards gradual economic integration and deeper political cooperation, including on the Middle East peace process and on human rights issues. Against the background of the high level of economic development, the maturity of Israeli public institutions, and the limited scope of the bilateral allocation, EU cooperation with Israel places the emphasis on support measures for the implementation of the ENP Action Plan. The identification of priorities will be guided by the policy objectives defined in the jointly agreed EU-Israel Action Plan and will focus on those areas which are in the EU’s strategic interest and consistent with Israel’spriorities. Priorities for EC support will be identified on an annual basis in close consultation with the Israeli authorities. The focus of the EC’s activities should be to support regulatory approximation of Israeli legislation to EU legislation with a view to facilitating and improving cooperation. Possible areas for cooperation might include justice, freedom and security, networks, and people-to-people contacts and exchanges (including in the context of the Tempus and Youth in Action as well as the Erasmus Mundus programme). These areas were among those discussed and identified as priorities by both sides in the relevant subcommittee meetings. EC support under the bilateral allocation will be complemented by regional and interregional allocations and EIB activities, in particular in the areas of transport, energy and environment. It will also add to possible sub-regional activities. Support under the bilateral allocation in this context will aim to accompany and underpin EIB lending activities in particular to facilitate work on convergence of technical and legal frameworks. The volume of EIB loans currently envisaged in these sectors is around €500 millions. At the Barcelona Euro-Mediterranean Summit in November 2005, partners collectively committed to endorse a feasible timetable to depollute the Mediterranean Sea by 2020.3The EC response strategy for Israel could support national and regional measures that contribute to attaining the goals of Horizon 2020, which are to tackle all the major sources of pollution including industrial emissions, municipal waste and particularly urban waste water. 3Successful achievement of the goal to reduce pollution levels will require a combination of both regional and national actions with the support of all actors in the Mediterranean. In addition to regulatory convergence and general reform ofenvironmental administrations, investment projects financed by the International Financial Institutions can beencouraged through targeted investment preparation and support (such as interest rate subsidies).
