why does everyone ive seen discussing this topic, regardless of which side they are on, completely forget to say he said with land swaps. the 1967 borders are to be used as a rough marker for how much land should be swapped for whatever the israelis will keep. i mean...it was one sentence even...and everyone stops listening after the first half of it?

Land swaps are going to happen, that's simple fact. But the important part of the sentence wasn't the bit about land swaps, it was calling for the borders to be based around the 1967 ones.
|
what other borders do you think they would use as a basis?
|
Israel seems keen on using the idea of 1967 borders minus the land they've grabbed since.
|
not sure i get your point...they are keen on keeping all of the west bank and gaza as part of israel?
|
No, they're keen on keeping the settlements and east Jerusalem, this picture gives an idea of how much land has been encroached in the West Bank.
|
oh. i get what you are saying now. they dont want to swap any land and just keep the border at where theyve already settled ?
except that theyve already said they were open to land swapping previously.

With no interest in giving back East Jerusalem, which is key.
