A report in al-Hayat, a newspaper based in London, said Netanyahu drafted a new declaration of principles that states Israel's willingness to withdraw from 90 percent of the West Bank and evacuate 50,000 settlers, hoping it will entice the Palestinians to return to the negotiating table. (UPI)
Netanyahu's office Friday released a statement calling the newspaper report a lie.
The newspaper based the report on what it described as "knowledgeable sources."
Israel National News
This week, two reports appeared to suggest that Israel is under pressure to agree to Abbas's demands. On Friday, the London-based Arabic daily Al-Hayyat reported that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has agreed to give Abbas 90% of Judea and Samaria for the establishment of a PA state, and to forcibly expel the roughly 50,000 Jews living in the area.Here is the 5th-year anniversary re-issue of Israeli nationalists' clarion warning against uprooting Jewish communities from Gaza - and removing its security buffer- to appease international pressure for Palestinian sovereignty.
Netanyahu's office has denied the report. Netanyahu also reportedly told US envoy George Mitchell on Wednesday that he cannot accept the PA's latest demand - namely, that direct talks be renewed on the basis of a Quartet declaration that the Palestinian state be based on the pre-1967 borders. The prime minister reportedly said that the talks should simply begin without any pre-conditions.
Meanwhile, Reuters reported that Abbas may agree to direct talks if Netanyahu agrees to a PA state with borders based on the 1949 armistice line – an agreement that would leave the PA with all of Judea and Samaria and much of Jerusalem, including the Old City and other historically Jewish neighborhoods such as Shiloach (Silwan) and Shimon Hatzaddik.
Palestinian Gaza has actualized all the threats warned against by Israelis in this documentary prior to Israel's sacrifice of land and villages towards promises of a peaceful co-existence.
Palestinian Gaza's 5-years of ever-increasing aggression to conquer Israel belies expectations of peace for Israel from the notion of a tried-and-failed, Palestinian sovereignty.
This documentary "Sakin ba Lev" ("A Stab in the Heart") was the original warning in 2005. Watch the heartbreaking warnings against Palestinian malice against non-Muslims conservative Israelis warned against - but were over-ridden by liberal pressure and policies - ultimately leading to greater war and loss. What lessons does this hold about those still expecting that the pre-mature creation of a state of Palestine will result in a peaceful resolution (i.e. demonstrated Palestinian resignation of nationalist aims to reconquer Jerusalem and the Jewish state)?
