Ehud Olmert plan gives Palestinians 93pc
13/8/08
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has offered the Palestinians a peace plan giving them 93 per cent of the occupied West Bank, the Haaretz newspaper reported yesterday. The proposed border is at the heart of a broader plan that would compensate the Palestinians with the equivalent of 5.5 per cent of the West Bank adjacent to the Gaza Strip and a route connecting Gaza to the West Bank itself. But Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas would receive the land and the overland connection only once his forces retake Gaza from the Islamist Hamas movement, which seized power in the territory in June last year.
