The Palestanians will be accorded the right to create an independent state comprising the Gaza Strip as defined by the 1950 armistice line and the West Bank area as defined by the 1949 armistice line and the 1967 cease fire line with the exception of the City of Jerusalem. See map

All Israeli troops are to be withdrawn from the occupied territories within a period of 2 years.

The Status of the City of Jerusalem

The Palestinians forfeit all claims to Jerusalem. Arab residents of Jerusalem are granted full Israeli citizenship with all the rights and privelages thereof. Residents of Jerusalem will be allowed to maintain dual citizenship status with Israel and the State of Palestine.

Uninhabited settlements and settlements still under construction at the time of implementation of this agreement will be handed over to the Palestinian State. Established settlements will come under Palestinian rule and the inhabitants will be granted full Palestinian citizenship while being allowed to maintain their Israeli citizenship.

Settlers will retain all possessions and assets acquired under the Israeli government. They will be granted full autonomy over the running of day to day affairs within the settlements and guaranteed the right to practice their religion freely and free rein in the education of their children and administration of their yeshivas with the provision that all children acquire a minimal level of proficiency in the Arabic language to ensure their full participation as citizens of the Palestinian State.

Since it will be virtually impossible for the Palestinian state to guarantee the complete safety of the Hebron settlers, the 500 or so settlers in Hebron will be given the choice of leaving the entire Palestinian state and returning to Israel proper where they will be duely compensated for loss of assets or accepting Palestinian citizenship and relocating to the nearest settlement with guaranteed safe access to Jewish holy sites in Hebron. Settlers who choose to remain in Hebron will do so under the understanding that they will be treated no differently than other Palestenian inhabitants of Hebron and will enjoy no special privelages.

Settlers will be subject to Palestinian law and thus entitled to protection by Palestinian police forces with notable exceptions: Settlers will be allowed to retain their weapons and to form civilian militias as added protection with the STRICT understanding that any action by such militias is subject to review by the Palestinian Courts where they will be expected to provide adequate justification for any action or actions and will be subject to criminal prosecution should they fail. To ensure justice and impartiality, the Palestinian State will allow Israeli and/or international observers to attend Court proceedings against holders of Israeli citizenship in the Palestinian state and VICE VERSA. This measure is strictly to provide observation of correct implementation proceedings; observers will not be allowed to interfere in any manner with legal proceedings in either state.

Settlers who wish to permanently leave the Palestinian state forfeit their rights to all land and assets within the borders of the Palestinian state with the exception of personal possessions and effects. The Israeli government will compensate said settlers for lost assets.

Israeli citizens convicted of crimes by the Palestinian State may be exchanged for Palestinians convicted in Israel, with the understanding that should they choose such option both sides forfeit all assets in the state in which they were convicted and will be forever denied entry to the state in which they were convicted.

Like all Palestinian citizens settlers will have the right to participate in the Palestinian Assembly and to run for office. The settlements will be assigned a number of seats in the Assembly commensurate with the percentage of the population they represent.

The Israeli government will annually pay the Palestinian State a to be agreed upon sum for 10 years to compensate citizens of the Palestinian State whose land and assets were confiscated by the Israeli government during the occupation with the understanding that a certain percentage of said sum will be directly applied toward increased police presence and protection in former Israeli settlements.

To ensure the prevention of any acts of aggression by either side the Israeli-Palestinian border shall acquire a status akin to the North-South Korean border. Anti personal and anti tank land mines and other precautionary armaments will be deployed by both sides all along the border with the exception of an adequate amounts of access points heavily secured by both sides. UNDER NO CONDITION is either side to unilaterally close all access points or deny access to individuals with authorized documents from freely crossing into either state. [Since Israel has shown a penchant for completely shutting off the West Bank and Gaza strip the next point is of particular importance]

Access to the Gaza Strip from the West Bank, Sea and Air.

Free access to the Gaza Strip from the West Bank is to be guaratenteed through a land and air corridor connecting the City of Hebron to the City of Gaza. The corridor will be considered international territory and access will be maintained and controlled by a multinational force under UN auspices.

The Port of Gaza and will be the main point of entry to the Palestinian State by sea. 3 miles beyond the shores of the Gaza Strip will be considered Palestinian territory in accordance with international maritime conventions. Airspace above the Gaza Strip and West Bank is Palestinian air space. The Palestinian state reserves to right to respond by any means it deems fit to any unauthorized incursion by Israel or other states into it's air space. Air space over the Gaza-West Bank corridor will be considered international airspace and treated accordingly.

Both the Palestinian and the Israeli states pledge to refrain from any practices targeted at preventing citizens of either state from LEGALLY acquiring land and/or commercial enterprises in the neighboring state. Trade between both states shall be free and unrestricted with very limited tarrifs allowed. A separate Trade Agreement shall be drawn out by both states.

Water Rights

The Palestinian State will guarantee Israeli access to water from acquifiers and other water sources in the West Bank under the condition that the Israeli government shall pay for such services in an agreement to be negotiated separately.

No construction of dams or other water divertors on the Jordan River will be allowed by any of the states through whose territory the river flows unless previously agreed upon by all states. A separate treaty shall be drawn up allocating water quotas to each state on the Jordan River.

Each side pledges to maintain, protect and provide free access to religious sites within it's territory.

As a sovereign state the Palestinian State is entitled to a standing permanent army to protect its citizenry against outside aggression. For security reasons, the Palestinian Army will be limited to a few infantry units and light artillery with no air force and a small Navy based in the port of Gaza.
