Meeting Summary (not verbatim):
Following a brief discussion of recent news reports regarding Israels decision to negotiate with Syria over the return of the Golan Heights, the meeting focused primarily on the Israeli side presenting their assessment of the Palestinian landswap proposal.
AA:
First, let me say congratulations on Syria.
TL:
Its not official. Talks are going on through Turkey.
AA:
Who will be first [to sign a deal with Israel], us or the Syrians?
TL:
Our priority is to end the conflict with you.
Was there some reaction to this in the Arab world?
AA:
I think everyone will welcome it.
There is also the agreement among the Lebanese.
TL:
Its being perceived as a victory for Hizbollah.
AA:
This is the perception, yes. Its a kind of revolution what they did… There are things that they were asking for before but were not possible, which they now got.
TL:
This will strengthen Syria.
AA:
Im not saying that, but its in favor of Hizbollah. So [by extension] its good for Syria and Iran.
TL:
Negotiations will help?
AA:
You mean with Israel? No, I doubt it.
SIA:
It will help Hamas as well.
AA:
No, I dont think so.
TL:
I would like to ask something about the kilometers [i.e., area], because I think there is a kind of misunderstanding. When I talked to the Americans, [I began to understand what you meant]. Now, I think it is less important to be exact about which areas we relate to, but its important for me to understand what this area [issue] means for you. [i.e., it is better to speak in terms of kilometers, instead of percentages.]
AA:
This is just a calculation.
TL:
When you work on numbers, what is the calculation?
AA:
It is well known to everyone.
TL:
I ask because Im told that that we didnt include certain areas. But even when we count everything everything [i.e., the whole OPT], we came up with 6,202 [sq. km].
SE:
Youre not counting the Dead Sea. Whats your number for the Dead Sea?
I think we should just use the lines of the 1949 armistice agreement and the 1950 modus vivendi line [to guide the discussion]. I do not want to impose this on you but [as a starting point].
TL:
Yes, Saeb, there is a problem with that…
SIA:
6,238 sq km.
TL:
So where is the gap from? What is your [area for the] NML?
SE:
66 sq. km.
TL:
We have 67.
SE:
When you divide the NML in half, you have 33…
AA:
Why is this important?
TL:
Im told there is confusion about the percentage we use.
AA:
It will not make a big difference in the percentage.
TL:
Okay.
AA:
But what should be well understood is…
TL:
Sorry, I made a mistake. 67 [sq. km] is East Jerusalem. The NML is 49 [sq. km].
SE:
Thats the difference then.
TL:
So we decided not to have this argument on numbers. But can I ask, what is the difference on the NML coming from?
SE:
Lets just use the lines of the 1949 armistice agreement. Is there a problem with that?
TL:
Come on, Saeb. Yes, there is a problem with that… Im just trying to check about the Prime Ministers offer [to Abu Mazen], whether its the same number.
AA:
It is in the Latrun and East Jerusalem… and also the Golan Heights. We want a safe passage to Banyas as well.
TL:
What is the best way now to continue? I think we have the Palestinian proposal on our map…
AA:
We want two things. We want to see what was offered by your prime minister personally, Im not interested in maps; I was against this [exchanging of maps] and second, we want to see what you think of our very constructive proposal.
TL:
Lets take your suggestion and see where the gaps are [between our proposal and yours].
[DT projects map of Israeli proposal (map shows hashed block over Jordan Valley area)]
SE:
What is this striped area?
TL:
The stripped area means it will be discussed after security.
AA:
As long as youre not going to annex it.
TL:
I would like to annex it, but it is not to be discussed here.
SE:
But were not discussing security today so can we remove it?
TL:
[Asks DT to remove the hashed area, which he does.]
DT:
This is the 7.3% map [projected map is virtually identical to what Israeli side presented previously in Territory Committee].
SE
7.3% according to what?
UD:
According to our calculation [i.e., minus Latrun NML and East Jerusalem areas].
TL:
In our discussion, we saw areas [that were not included in your proposal]. Clearly, we have huge difference, one being Maale Adumim.
AA:
This is not Maale Adumim.
ZS:
Is this red and white line the Jerusalem municipal line?
DT:
Yes.
TL:
What weve done is taken your map and ours, so we can see the differences. Jerusalem is not included [on our map] because its not being discussed here, but clearly we know it has to be discussed.
[News comes in of 286 new units to be tendered in Betar Illit.]
TL:
Were giving up the Golan so we need more in Betar Illit.
AA:
Yes, you make us pay the price.
TL:
Lets where we are and what the differences are. The good news is that all of this area in yellow [we do not have disagreement on]. It is the beginning of something [we can work with].
We have four huge differences: (1) on what we call Maale Adumim, and I accept what you said before, but its not only the built-up area…
AA:
Its not even [limited to] the built-up areas.
TL:
I know…
AA:
If you go there today and look, you will see thousands of new units being built.
TL:
Its not new.
AA:
We can go there, after the meeting, and I will show you.
[Discussion on whether or not there is significant construction going on in Maale Adumim.]
TL:
This is a place where we have big differences its including the built-up area, but not just the built-up areas; also we have some smaller places [i.e., settlements], industrial areas, and areas of strategic importance…
Then we have Givat Zeev, which is very important… Then we have what we call the fingers of Ariel and…
UD:
Qedumim
TL:
… Qedumim and all these places.
We also have big differences when it comes to the swap. The way Olmert told me is its going to be near Gaza.
SE:
Olmert said, Gaza and the southern West Bank.
SA:
The swap is to be next to Gaza and the southern part of the West Bank.
TL:
We also have some differences in the line. I would like to ask a question… Of course, we have to count the safe passage also [in the swap], as this is an issue of compensation.
AA:
No compensation [i.e., in equal territory] is important but not as important as you explaining why you need so much land.
TL:
Jerusalem is not being mentioned here, but that doesnt mean it is not going to be discussed.
AA:
It seems that Nayef Hawatmeh, of the DFLP, knows more about the Israeli position than us. He is saying the Israelis are proposing to keep the Jordan Valley and all of Jerusalem… How does he know this?
[DT zooms in on area of Bethlehem/Etzion]
DT:
The main difference is that Efrat and Migdal Oz are out, and all the roads, so there is no way out for Gush Etzion.
TL:
What are the differences in percentages and sq. km?
DT:
Gush Etzion is about 1.2%...
SA:
And 54 sq. km.
DT:
And about 54 to 57 sq. km.
TL:
And yours is?
SA:
23 sq. km… Its not about percentages. You want to take all this empty land, and the way to Jerusalem can be cut...
AA:
We dont want to go into these details.
TL:
Well…
AA:
Actually, when I see your map, I advise you to go to Syria [first]. It will help us. We cannot accept Maale Adumim, Givat Zeev and Ariel… If this is your proposal, let us wait… I am serious.
TL:
I could have said the same thing when you showed us your map.
AA:
But I gave. You take.
TL:
I think we are on the path of minimizing the gaps. This is important. There are places we need. The differences are not that much of a problem. The real problem is Maale Adumim…
DT:
[MISSING]
TL:
Maale Adumim building area [MISSING]
SA:
This is not Maale Adumim…
AA:
This is all of Jerusalem, to close off all of Jerusalem. If this is what you have, we can wait.
TL:
I think this would be a historic mistake.
I said Jerusalem is something that will be added. Now Im trying to see the problematic gaps. When it comes to Gush Etzion, [there are some gaps]. But my question is on Maale Adumim. [To DT] How many people are there?
DT:
32,000.
TL:
We can discuss how to minimize [the area].
DT:
Sorry, its 38,000.
TL:
This is one. The other is Givat Zeev, which is something that can also be minimized. Its not the building area.
KE:
This is far more than the built-up area of Givat Zeev [referring to Israeli proposal line (same as wall line) on the map].
TL:
I know. Its not only the building area.
ZS:
Why do you have to have the roads, as opposed to access arrangements?
TL:
We can discuss it. But generally, they are for security considerations.
ZS:
Do tunnels have the same security needs?
TL:
I think tunnels are safer. Is that right? [To DT/UD, both of whom agree.]
AA:
There are 30,000 people in Maale Adumim. They can live under Palestinian rule.
TL:
You know this is not realistic.
AA:
So take them [out], like you did in Gaza.
TL:
We are going to [take out many settlers].
AA:
If you want peace… I was against this, but Saeb and Samih said we should do it. They put Jerusalem settlements, but this was never done in Camp David.
TL:
I know but…
AA:
Okay, so we wait.
TL:
The problem [in that case] is that youll see more and more on the ground.
My question is why you cannot have a state that represents most of your aspirations? You will get some compensation.
Maybe the right thing to do is let the experts continue the discussion.
AA:
Maybe they will be more practical.
TL:
Why do you insist on 98%? Why not 92%.
AA:
Thats why Im saying, I hope peace with Syria is a success. Maybe it will help us, maybe not. [Our situation in the region is difficult.] Iran is against us. Qatar is against us…
TL:
If this is the proposal, you think the Arab world will say no to 90-something [percent]?
AA:
The Arabs and Muslims, they will say [its not for you to give away Jerusalem].
Even Mubarak said he will not accept any agreement that is unfair to Palestinians.
TL:
I know that you are going to get not most almost all of your desires, and compensation for things you dont get. Saying there will be no state unless its 1967, would be a shame.
ZS:
Thats not the point that Abu Alaa is making. [Notes the main underlying interests, and the only one Palestinians agreed to accommodate was minimizing the number of settlers that need to be evacuated, which the Palestinian proposal does.] You are taking all these empty areas for roads, and so on. But if its about roads, there could other arrangements made for access, etc. You rely on annexation instead of exploring other options like access arrangements to roads or tunnels from the settlements. Have you looked at alternatives? Its about the big picture.
TL:
I understand, and I dont underestimate how hard it is for you to do this.
AA:
I was against this, but Saeb and others they convinced me.
TL:
I said “narrow” [the gaps]. It was not done yet. So maybe the thing to do is for the experts to meet and work on narrowing the gaps. I dont know if the gaps can be bridged, but narrowed.
Maybe that should be done by you [the experts], and knowing that it will be up to Abu Alaa and me whether or not to accept it. Of course, it will be the prime minister who will decide.
SE:
I appreciate what youre saying, Tzipi. But these experts us we heard your prime minister and Abu Mazen talk about 7.3%...
TL:
We didnt speak about percentages, but basically its the same position.
AA:
One position, the Israeli position.
SE:
Now, what is the Jordan Valley and Dead Sea are shaded for security. Theyre not included in the percentage, and Jerusalem…
TL:
It is not mentioned here but it will be discussed.
SE:
But its not calculated in the percentage.
TL:
The percentage doesnt change dramatically.
SE:
So the Dead Sea and Jordan Valley are included [in the 7.3%]?
TL:
Yes.
SE:
And the Latrun?
TL:
No.
SE:
And when you say, go work. Are these discussions going to take a needs-based approach?
TL:
Yes.
SE:
So what Zeinah is saying about the roads…
TL:
Yes. This is the best question I heard to today.
SE:
And this area around Ariel, it is essential for water, especially since it is on the western aquifer.
TL:
Yes. Now I have a better understanding of something than I did before.
AA:
Here is Givat Zeev. They put a boulder on the road to Beitunia. [MISSING]
TL:
Please put up Givat Zeev. I need to see it.
DT:
Here is Givat Zeev.
AA:
[MISSING] close to the Wall.
UD:
This is a security fence. It is not a border. Dont take this as [MISSING].
AA:
How? But they will take [even] Abu Mazen out of his car and make him switch to another car.
UD:
This was another reality, built under conditions of terror.
TL:
Our interest in the area is people.
SA:
Theres not many people there.
TL:
How many?
SA:
And your line is basically the same as the Wall.
TL:
The Wall takes about [MISSING].
SA:
If its a question of security, why have special security arrangements? It is going to be part of Israel, so the security should come from Israel.
TB:
[There are security implications on the ground.]
SE:
I agree with Tzipi. Unfortunately [MISSING]. We want to continue on a needs basis. We dont want Palestinians to become Israelis and we dont want Israelis to become Palestinians.
AA:
I dont mind if Israelis become Palestinian citizens. Let them stay.
TL:
You know this is not realistic. They will kill them the next day.
SE:
If were going to make an agreement, we need to minimize the differences. I really believe this. But not to take the “souk mentality”…
TL:
[Talking about Jerusalem] In adding it to the common denominator you dont change the percentage. Anyway it looks like you will get some of it.
I want to ask also: in some places, if we take 1967, it cuts Palestinian villages and families.
AA:
We can talk. We said some modifications to the line.
SE:
Lets take a needs-based approach. Are we going to be guided by necessity? Can we say water aquifers and [Palestinian] population cannot be prejudiced?
TL:
To take into consideration our needs and your needs.
SE:
Okay. Yes.

And the Latrun?
TL:
No.
SE:
And when you say, go work. Are these discussions going to take a needs-based approach?
TL:
Yes.
SE:
So what Zeinah is saying about the roads…
TL:
Yes. This is the best question I heard to today.
SE:
And this area around Ariel, it is essential for water, especially since it is on the western aquifer.
TL:
Yes. Now I have a better understanding of something than I did before.
AA:
Here is Givat Zeev. They put a boulder on the road to Beitunia. [MISSING]
TL:
Please put up Givat Zeev. I need to see it.
DT:
Here is Givat Zeev.
AA:
[MISSING] close to the Wall.
UD:
This is a security fence. It is not a border. Dont take this as [MISSING].
AA:
How? But they will take [even] Abu Mazen out of his car and make him switch to another car.
UD:
This was another reality, built under conditions of terror.
TL:
Our interest in the area is people.
SA:
Theres not many people there.
TL:
How many?
SA:
And your line is basically the same as the Wall.
TL:
The Wall takes about [MISSING].
SA:
If its a question of security, why have special security arrangements? It is going to be part of Israel, so the security should come from Israel.
TB:
[There are security implications on the ground.]
SE:
I agree with Tzipi. Unfortunately [MISSING]. We want to continue on a needs basis. We dont want Palestinians to become Israelis and we dont want Israelis to become Palestinians.
AA:
I dont mind if Israelis become Palestinian citizens. Let them stay.
TL:
You know this is not realistic. They will kill them the next day.
SE:
If were going to make an agreement, we need to minimize the differences. I really believe this. But not to take the “souk mentality”…
TL:
[Talking about Jerusalem] In adding it to the common denominator you dont change the percentage. Anyway it looks like you will get some of it.
I want to ask also: in some places, if we take 1967, it cuts Palestinian villages and families.
AA:
We can talk. We said some modifications to the line.
SE:
Lets take a needs-based approach. Are we going to be guided by necessity? Can we say water aquifers and [Palestinian] population cannot be prejudiced?
TL:
To take into consideration our needs and your needs.
SE:
Okay. Yes.
