| Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert |
JP : "In the next 50 years, you will not find one Israeli leader that will propose to you what I propose to you now," Olmert was cited as saying by the BBC. Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert revealed in a yet-to-be-broadcast interview with the BBC the map he presented to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas as part of the 2008 negotiations between the two parties.
Read it all here.....According to the map, 94% of the West Bank was offered for the creation of a Palestinian state.
In addition, Israel was supposed to annex 4.9% of the West Bank, in return for which it would have ceded territory on the outskirts of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip area.
Alongside conceding territory to both the West Bank and Gaza, the proposal would have resulted in a tunnel or highway connecting the two.
Olmert also drew up plans for Jerusalem, which would be divided between Israel and a Palestinian state, with both claiming parts of the city as their capital. The Old City and nearby religious sites would hand over the administration to a committee of trustees consisting of Israel, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the US.
