November 2009. In such a situation it is very hard for both sides to relax their positions to an extent that makes it possible to reach and implement agreements. The problems of legitimacy and weakness of the Palestinian government also hinder concluding any agreement. The permanent agreement demands a compromise on the most sensitive issues, including refugees, Jerusalem, and territory. The Palestinian leaders, on the one hand, are concerned that any concession in talks will be exploited by their bitter political rivals, Hamas, to attack and undermine them. At the same time, they also suspect they will not receive the necessary backing from their divided party, and thus they are unable to display the necessary ftexibility precisely because of their weakness. The second factor is the domestic political situation in Israel. After long years of the intifada and two wars, in Lebanon in the summer of 2006 and in the Gaza Strip in late 2008 and early 2009, the Israeli public has lost faith in the ability to reach an agreement with the Palestinians that will end the conftict between them. There is also a lack of faith in the principle of land for peace. From what is considered the failure of the unilateral withdrawal from southern Lebanon and the disengagement from Gaza, the Israeli public has concluded that withdrawing from territories and transferring them to the Palestinian side only generates new threats against Israel. This sentiment was reftected in the results of the last elections, which brought a largely right wing government into power. Furthermore, the continued deep split in the Israeli political system weakens the government and makes it hard to reach and implement decisions on controversial issues. The negotiations with the Palestinians are at the center of a fierce debate in the Israeli public and necessitate tough decisions on sensitive issues, such as evacuation of a large number of settlements, division of neighborhoods in Jerusalem, control of the Temple Mount and other holy sites, and a solution to the refugee problem. Like the Palestinians, the Israeli side is hard pressed to demonstrate ftexibility on the sensitive issues, and will also find it difficult to implement an agreement in these areas. There are various ways to deal with the difficulty of reaching a permanent agreement and implementing it. The approach that was chosen for the Annapolis process was to maintain parallel tracks. On the one hand, there were talks on a permanent agreement and an atte...

November 2009. The Palestinians will have full civilian authorities. In the economic arena, the two states will agree on the format of economic relations between them – continued customs unification based on an enhanced format or a free trade area. More efficient arrangements will be set for the passage of goods and people to and from Israel. Palestinians will have full authority to sign economic agreements with other countries. Final arrangements will be agreed in the area of water and the environment, in addition to coordination and cooperation in other civilian areas. In Jerusalem, the agreement will incorporate altering the route of the wall, so that districts of East Jerusalem, to which there is no Israeli claim, will move to the Palestinian side. Palestinian state representation will be allowed in the area of East Jerusalem that will remain on the Israeli side of the wall, and there will be more Palestinian control in various areas of life in the Palestinian neighborhoods, including full control of education and health. On the subject of the refugees, agreement will be reached by the two sides with international bodies with regard to the amount of compensations, the criteria for allocating them, and the mechanism involved. A discussion will take place designed to develop a shared narrative. Refugees will be allowed to return to the Palestinian state based on terms to be accepted between the two states. Implementation of a plan to rehabilitate all the refugees in the area of the Palestinian entity will be started, in fields such as residence and employment, with international assistance. This stage also allows greater involvement of Arab states, in accordance with the Arab peace initiative. Involvement will on the one hand be reftected in the provision of benefits to Israel with regard to relations with Arab states, and on the other hand, involvement in implementation of the agreement, through the provision of economic aid to the Palestinian state. This will include rehabilitation of the refugees in the West Bank, participation in the international force, and rehabilitation of the Palestinian refugees who choose individually already at this stage to stay in Arab states and relinquish a right of return, including providing them with full citizenship in those countries that have yet to offer this. In the current political circumstances on both sides, it is difficult to envisage implementation of this extensive partial agreement. Its full implementation will require su...
