Amid speculation Quartet may give statement on final settlement, J'lem officials worry only Palestinian considerations will be reflected.
If the Quartet feels obligated to propose outlines of a final Israeli-Palestinian settlement at the end of its upcoming meeting, it needs to take into account Israeli demands, not only Palestinian ones, government sources said this week amid speculation the Quartet may delineate how it sees a final settlement.
Britain, France and Germany have reportedly been urging the EU and the UN to propose a statement that would say that a future agreement would be based upon the 1967 lines “with agreed upon land swaps,” and reach a “just fair and agreed solution to the refugee question.” One of the key sticking points in relaunching Israeli-Palestinian negotiations has been the Palestinian insistence that the baseline for talks be a return to the 1967 lines, and Israel’s position that those lines are not sacrosanct, and that what needed to be discussed were secure and defensible borders – something Israel says is not provided by the 1967 lines.
..... The Quartet is expected to meet in mid-April at the most senior level – US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, EU foreign policy chief Catherin Ashton, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Blair. No date or venue has yet been set, leading to some doubt in Jerusalem about whether the meeting – at a time when the world’s attention is focused on other nations in the region – will even take place.
A planned high-level Quartet meeting in March was cancelled, soon after Netanyahu’s aides indicated that he was on the cusp of delivering a major policy address, likely to the US Congress in May. Talk about that address has been overshadowed by regional events, including the terrorist attacks in Itamar and Jerusalem, and the continuing shelling of the south.
Nevertheless, Netanyahu is still planning on going to Washington toward the end of May, coinciding with the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee meeting in Washington that begins on May 22. He also is still planning an address to Congress.
