Four and a half years have passed since the Camp David talks failed to
produce an agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. The period
that followed was catastrophic for both peoples - thousands were
killed, hatred spread and trust collapsed. We all paid a high price,
just to return a few years later to essentially the same principles of
peace.
The guidelines in terms of territory have always been clear for both
sides. This framework entails a two-state solution, two nations living
side by side rather than within each other. This requires Israel to
remove settlements from the midst of the Palestinian population and
allow the Palestinian state its territorial contiguity. The
Palestinians, for their part, are expected to acknowledge that Israel
will remain predominantly Jewish and that the major blocs of
settlements will not be removed.
