    The united states, the 1967 lines, and the future of the arab-israeli conflict

    THE UNITED STATES, THE 1967 LINES, AND THE FUTURE OF THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT

    Israel is considering annexing 30% of the West Bank. That would end any possible Palestinian state. But would it be good for Israel? IMO, no, not unless they expel the Palestinians. Otherwise Israel will not be a Jewish State and the Palestinians would out vote the Jews.

    After holding three elections in less than a year, Israelis appear to be finally getting a break from having to go to the polls. On April 20, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party agreed to form a unity government with the leader of the opposition Blue and White Party, Benny Gantz. As part of the deal that the two sides negotiated, Netanyahu will be allowed to let the Knesset — Israel’s parliament — hold a vote on whether Israel should unilaterally annex roughly 30 percent of the West Bank, hitherto considered the main area of land that would comprise a future Palestinian state, possibly as early as July.

    There is good reason to believe that President Donald Trump would support an Israeli decision for annexation. Although Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s recent visit to Jerusalem prompted speculation that Washington might have qualms about such a move, Trump has repeatedly signaled that he backs Israel’s territorial aspirations. The administration, for example, has already recognized Israel’s authority over the Golan Heights and kept the president’s campaign promise to move the U.S. embassy in the country to Jerusalem. More importantly, under Trump the United States has indicated its approval for annexation by declaring that Israel’s West Bank settlements do not violate international law. And the peace plan that the administration issued in January explicitly outlined a territorial settlement that would involve Israel retaining about 30 percent of the West Bank — including its existing settlements and the Jordan River Valley — as well as authority over the whole of Jerusalem. Indeed, the Netanyahu-Gantz agreement specifically refers to the Trump proposal.

    Palestinians in the West Bank can't vote because it isn't officially part of Israel. Hence the proposal to annex it.

    The Balfour Declaration

    Foreign Office
    November 2nd, 1917
    Dear Lord Rothschild,
    I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet.
    His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.
    I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
    Yours sincerely,
    Arthur James Balfour

    "In view of Israel’s continued denial of the signed agreements, the PCC (PLO Central Council), in confirmation of its previous decision and considering that the transitional phase no longer exists, decides to end the commitments of the PLO and the Palestinian Authority towards its agreements with the occupying power, suspend recognition of the state of Israel until its recognition of the state of Palestine on the June 4, 1967 borders with east Jerusalem as its capital, end security coordination in all its forms, and disengage economically from Israel on the grounds that the transitional phase, including the Paris Economic Protocols no longer exist.” -PLO 2018
