Peace plan addresses 'compensation' for Palestinian and Jewish refugees, call Israel 'Jewish' state, vague on Jerusalem
‘US framework deal puts 75-80% of settlers under Israeli rule’
Martin Indyk briefs Jewish leaders on two-state proposal, says Abbas may let remaining settlers stay as Palestinian citizens, aims for full accord by year’s end
January 31, 2014, 2:55 am
18
WASHINGTON — The Obama
administration will soon present a framework for an Israeli-Palestinian
agreement that the sides may accept with reservations as a basis for a
final deal by year’s end, the top US negotiator told Jewish leaders.Martin
Indyk, the State Department’s lead envoy to the Israeli-Palestinian
negotiations, told the Jewish leaders on Thursday that under the
framework agreement about 75-80 percent of settlers would remain in what
would become Israeli sovereign territory through land swaps; he added
that it was his impression that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud
Abbas was not averse to allowing settlers who want to remain as citizens
of the Palestinian state.Indyk said the framework would be presented to
the sides within weeks, and that there will be “no surprises” for the
Israeli and Palestinian leaders, according to four people who were on
the off the record call.This was because Indyk and Secretary of State
John Kerry consulted closely with the leaders of both governments as
Indyk’s team drafted the agreement.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Abbas
would be expected to accept the agreement, with reservations, as the
basis of continued negotiations, Indyk apparently said.Making it a
US-drafted framework permitted the
leaders to distance themselves from politically sensitive issues, Indyk
said. “There may be things we need to say because they can’t say them
yet,” he said, according to the notes of one participant.Broadly, Indyk
said, the agreement will
address: mutual recognition; security, land swaps and borders;
Jerusalem; refugees; and the end of conflict and all claims.A request
for comment from the State Department was not returned.On some sensitive
issues — particularly the
status of Jerusalem — the framework would be vague, but Indyk went into
detail on other issues that participants said was surprising.
Among these was the security arrangement for
the border between Jordan and the West Bank: Indyk said a new security
zone would be created, with new fences, sensors and unmanned aerial
vehicles.Indyk also said that the framework would
address compensation for Jews from Arab lands as well as compensation
for Palestinian refugees — another longstanding demand by some
pro-Israel groups but one that has yet to be included in any formal
document.He said that the framework would describe
“Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people and Palestine as the
nation state of the Palestinian people,” a nod to a key demand by the
Netanyahu government that Israel be recognized as a Jewish state.He said the framework would address the issue of incitement and Palestinian education for peace.Indyk confirmed that Kerry had already warned
lawmakers who deal with foreign funding that the framework would require
major US funding, particularly for the new Jordanian-West Bank border
arrangements, the redeployment of the Israeli army, and the compensation
for refugees on both sides.Indyk was relaxed and jovial throughout the
call, participants said, at one point chiding callers for not asking
about Palestinian incitement, considering it always comes up when he
talks to Jewish communities and in his meetings with Israeli officials.A participant said Indyk still seemed rankled,
however, by a report earlier this month that Defense Minister Moshe
Yaalon dismissed the security proposals as “not worth the paper they
were written on.” Indyk said this was “deeply insulting” to US Gen. John
Allen, who worked for months on the proposals.One party to
the call said Indyk, a former US ambassador to Israel, told participants
that the parties will ultimately agree to extend negotiations beyond
the nine-month timeline, expiring in April, which was first agreed upon
in late July. The sides, he said, will negotiate with the expectation of
reaching a final deal by the end of 2014.Indyk also promised participants that the
framework that is expected to be adopted in coming weeks will be made
public in order to initiate a public debate. He expressed hope that the
discussion will show leaders that the majority of Israelis and
Palestinians support a peace plan – but acknowledged that stiff
opposition would make it very difficult to continue toward a final
agreement.
Attorney and current affairs
analyst Yoram Sheftel remarked that this week, following International
Holocaust Remembrance Day, it is particularly timely to remember the
global complicity in the Holocaust, and heed the warnings not to rely on
the world again."Precisely this week it's important to remember the crimes of the
European countries, Russia and the US that secretly in their hearts
hoped (Nazi leader Adolf) Hitler would finish the job" and wipe out the
Jewish people, commented Sheftel to Arutz Sheva.This week Mark Langfan, Chairman of American For a Safe Israel
(AFSI), noted that historical documents indicate the US purposely chose
not to bomb Auschwitz and halt the genocide, out of a fear that if they
did so there would be an influx of Jews to America.Sheftel
said that while the Holocaust may have been carried out by
the Nazis and their helpers, in fact the attempted genocide was a
wide-reaching global initiative. "It only took place because of the
silent agreement of all the European nations, aside from the Danish and
Hungarians, that wanted the continuation of the destruction."The
attorney specifies that the British and Americans could have stopped the
genocide, but chose not to."Britain closed the gates of the land of Israel, and refused to bomb
the death camps. The American government under President (Franklin)
Roosevelt, a hater of Israel, stood firm against bombing the death
camps, spreading lies about a lack of military ability, but the truth is
they knew that bombing the camp would reduce the murder of Jews in Europe," charges Sheftel.Drawing from the message of the Holocaust, Sheftel warns against the current pressure from Europe, which is linked to the pressure from America as reports indicate US Secretary of State John Kerry is orchestrating the European boycotts. The pressure aims to force Israel into territorial withdrawals to the 1949 Armistice lines."Without the passivity of the European nations and the US, the scope
of the Holocaust would have been half as small, therefore it's clear
that the attempts today to return
the state of Israel to the Auschwitz borders is meant to complete what
they didn't complete then," remarked Sheftel.Sheftel has previously
warned that American should not be relied on, and that Kerry is displaying clear enmity to Israel.

U.S. Wants Peace by End of 2014, Indyk Tells Jewish Leaders
Kerry's
"framework" will include a Palestinian state and will leave 80% of
"settlers" in their homes, say Jewish leaders who met Indyk.-By Elad Benari-First Publish: 1/31/2014, 2:13 AM-Israelnationalnews
Martin Indyk-Flash 90
The leaders who spoke to Channel 10 News said that Secretary
of State John Kerry’s framework agreement, which was originally
scheduled to be presented at the end of January, will be presented
within weeks.According to these Jewish leaders, who were not named, Kerry’s
agreement mentions a Palestinian state with borders based on the 1949
Armistice lines and with land swaps between Israel and the PA. 75 to 80
percent of the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria would remain in
their homes even after a permanent agreement.The agreement will include a reference to the PA’s incitement against
Israel and will also include a reference to compensation for Jewish
refugees who came from Arab countries, the leaders told Channel 10 News.
The Arabs would recognize Israel as a Jewish state, Israel would
recognize the Palestinian state, and the two sides will announce the end
of the conflict, they said.The Jewish officials further noted that even after the agreement is
presented, the sides will not be forced to agree to it and the parties
will be allowed to present their reservations, though they would be
required to continue the negotiations based on the principles that
appear in the document.As for the status of Jerusalem, the participants in Indyk’s briefing told Channel 10,
Kerry's framework agreement will not go into too much detail on this
issue and will only mention "general principles and aspirations.”Much
has been said in recent weeks of the framework agreement that
Kerry is planning to bring forward, but nothing official has been made
public yet.On Wednesday, Thomas Friedman of the New York Times published some details
of Kerry’s plan which, he said, will call for a phased Israeli
withdrawal from Judea and Samaria based on the 1949 lines, with
"unprecedented" security arrangements in the strategic Jordan Valley.The Israeli withdrawal will not include certain settlement
blocs, but Israel will compensate the Arab side for this with Israeli
territory. The deal will call for “Palestine” to have a capital in Arab
East Jerusalem and to recognize Israel as the nation state of the Jewish
people. It will not include any right of return for Palestinian refugees into pre-1967 Israel, Friedman said.The plan was blasted by Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon, who declared that “it is not going to happen.”“Israel will not split Jerusalem nor will it withdraw to the pre-1967
lines,” Danon said, adding, “The only thing good about this plan is
that the Palestinians will recognize Israel as a Jewish state. It’s
about time.”Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu made clear last week
that whatever Kerry brings forward would not be an agreement but " a
suggestion for a framework for negotiations.”“This is not an agreement,
but a path to making progress,” Netanyahu told reporters in Davos.He
also clarified that he will not evict any Israeli communities as
part of a peace agreement. A senior source within the Prime Minister's
Office later told Arutz Sheva that when Netanyahu stated that "I do not intend to evacuate any settlements
or uproot a single Israeli," he meant "not just settlements and
Israelis in the Jordan Valley, but any settlements and any Israelis."
Yesha Council: Indyk misleading, will uproot 150,000
Dani Dayan of pro-settlement group says that US envoy includes East Jerusalem when he promises that 80% of settlers will stay
January 31, 2014, 2:55 pm
1-The Times of Israel
The chief foreign envoy of the
pro-settlement Yesha Council was not impressed with American promises
that 75-80 percent of settlers would remain in what would become Israeli
sovereign territory through land swaps under a future peace deal.“Martin
Indyk’s vision for the Jews of Judea and Samaria is extremely
misleading,” said Dani Dayan in a statement released Friday. “When Indyk
speaks of 80% of our communities remaining under Israeli rule, he is
including Eastern Jerusalem. Which would mean the forceful uprooting and
eviction of up to 150,000 Israelis from their homes, which is morally
repugnant and unacceptable to all.”Indyk, the State Department’s lead envoy to
the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, told Jewish leaders on Thursday
that, under an American framework agreement soon to be presented to
Israel and the Palestinians, 75-80 percent of settlers would remain
under Israeli rule. He added that it was his impression that Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was not averse to allowing those of
the remaining settlers who choose to do so, to stay as citizens of the
Palestinian state.Indyk said the framework would be presented to
the sides within weeks, and that there will be “no surprises” for the
Israeli and Palestinian leaders, according to four people who were on

PM in 1999: Jews living in Palestinian state is ‘absurd’
Interview surfaces Friday in which Netanyahu takes the very position for which he berated Bennett this week
January 31, 2014, 10:47 am
8-Jan 31,14
Despite this week’s semi-apology
by Jewish Home party leader Naftali Bennett over his criticism of Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposal to allow Israelis to live in a
future state of Palestine, the spat between the factions gained new life
Friday as two old interviews came to light.Makor
Rishon’s Hagai Segal reported on a 1999 interview he did with the prime
minister, then in his first term, in which Netanyahu called the idea of
Jewish settlers living in a Palestinian state “absurd.”“Do you know
anyone who would support
something like that?” Netanyahu asked. “Can you find an Israeli who
agree to that? Who would agree to live under Palestinian rule? That’s
absurd.”“This is another way to say, We will wipe out these settlements
by giving them over to the Palestinian Authority. It’s absurd.”This
week, by contrast, the prime minister and
his Likud allies castigated Bennett for challenging the idea that
settlers could live in a Palestinian state.The interview
surfaced shortly after another embarrassing statement came to light,
this time showing a Jewish Home MK taking the very position for which
the party panned Netanyahu. In televised comments just a few weeks ago,
MK Ayelet Shaked said that Israelis should be allowed to stay in a
Palestinian state and expressed incredulity that Palestinian Authority
President Mahmoud Abbas would not allow this.If there is to be a peace agreement, Shaked
told the i24 television news network in an English-language interview on
December 29, 2013, “I don’t see a reason why the settlements [sic]
cannot stay and live in a Palestinian state if they want “I don’t think the two-state solution will
happen,” Shaked added, but she went on to ask, “Why does Abu Mazen
[Abbas] want a Palestinian state cleared of Jews? I just don’t get it…
There are Arab villages [in Israel] and I think they should have the
same rights as myself. I think Jews can live in the Palestinian state.”Bennett, Shaked’s boss, was in a high-profile
fight this week with Netanyahu over this very issue. The Jewish Home
chairman reacted publicly to comments by an official to The Times of Israel saying
the prime minister was insisting that Jewish West Bank settlers be
given the option to remain in their homes under Palestinian rule,
following the signing of a peace deal.Bennett dismissed the idea out of hand, and
said that history “won’t forgive” an Israeli leader who relinquished
parts of the Land of Israel under a peace deal. The row lead to a
short-lived coalition crisis. Bennett on Wednesday partially apologized
for his remarks, but did not change his position.On Thursday, Shaked,
confronted with the
apparent inconsistency of her position, criticized the statements coming
from the Prime Minister’s Office this week as representing “a real
offer from someone who agrees to a Palestinian state” — something she
opposes — whereas her remarks to i24 were about an “imaginary scenario
as an example” to expose “the racism of Abu Mazen, and nothing else.“I
am very much against the dangerous idea of two states, and I don’t think
it will happen,” she added.Housing Minister Uri Ariel, Jewish Home’s
No.
2, defended Shaked, saying her December comments were true “in
principle,” but that “in reality” Jews would not be able to live under
Palestinian rule. “In principle, those who speak of peace, but do not
let us live in our homes, are racist and anti-Semitic. In reality, no
one believes that Hamas will allow [the safe presence of Jews in a
future Palestine] to happen.”Times of Israel Staff contributed to this report.
