Prominent Israeli personalities, many of them from the intelligence or the Army are scheduled tomorrow morning in Tel Aviv a new peace plan for Middle East, as confirmed by Danni Yatom, former director of Mossad and one of the drafters of the proposal in that daily. The document entitled Israeli Peace Initiative aims to convince the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of the need to reach an agreement with the Palestinians at a time of great changes in the region and the impasse in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.
The peace talks are deadlocked since last September after Israel refused to extend a moratorium on construction in settlements. The plan, first disclosed by The New York Times, is very similar to other local peace initiatives in the past. Perhaps the biggest news is that the 40 signers come from Israeli institutional and somehow aspire to represent the thoughts and aspirations of the average Israeli.
Pre-1967 borders are the starting point of the document applied, lead to the creation of a Palestinian state, East Jerusalem as its capital. The text also provides for exchanges of territory as long as they do not exceed 7% of the West Bank and advocated withdrawal from the Golan Heights, which Israel returned to Syria within a maximum period of five years.
The success or failure of the initiative will depend largely on who gets to immerse in Israeli government offices. The Executive Netanyahu has not commented so far on an initiative that today the deputy minister Dan Meridor has assured even ignore. "I have no knowledge of that plan. I have not seen those papers," said Tester asked by this newspaper.
Several members of the Israeli government has in recent weeks expressed concern about a slowdown negotiator considered especially dangerous in a context of democratic uprisings in the Arab world. The Israelis are also concerned about what might happen next September, when the Palestinians seek to obtain recognition of their state in the United Nations General Assembly.
"We have to restart peace talks. The passage of time does not suit us. We go by September [...] the absence of negotiations is worrisome," Meridor said this morning during a seminar entitled "Israel in a Middle next change. " Something like a few days ago said Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who spoke of "diplomatic tsunami" that Israel faces a possible United Nations Palestinian recognition.
