PA: Mideast summit should set 6-month deadline for peace deal
By Barak Ravid, Aluf Benn and Avi Isaacharoff, Haaretz Correspondent, and the Associated Press

The upcoming Middle East conference should set a six-month deadline for the completion of a final peace agreement, the Palestinian information minister said Thursday.

Palestinian Information Minister Riad Malki also reporters on Thursday that Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas plans to submit any future deal to a referendum among Palestinians, including refugees residing abroad.

David Baker, an official in the Prime Minister's Office, said Israel is serious about negotiating a deal, but that this is not "merely a product of how much time elapses.

Palestinian sources were quoted by Al-Quds newspaper Thursday as saying, however, that a final status agreement could only be reached after Israel holds elections, Israel Radio reported.

According to the report, the sources said Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's government is too weak to resolve the issues of Jerusalem and borders, even if the Palestinians agree to abandon demands for a right of return to Israel.

The newspaper printed the statements shortly after Olmert and Abbas met Wednesday and agreed to begin negotiations over a final status agreement after the Mideast peace conference scheduled to be held in Annapolis, Maryland in November.

The international forum, said Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat, will mark "the launching of permanent-status negotiations in order to achieve the treaty of peace on all the core issues."

A senior official confirmed that the sides agreed to begin final status talks. "After the November conference, they will start to negotiate a final agreement but with no timetable," said the official.

In a two-hour meeting held at Olmert's official resident in Jerusalem, the leaders talked in broad terms about their vision for a peace deal, Israeli officials said, and asked drafting teams to start work next week on a joint declaration, ahead of the U.S.-hosted peace talks.

Abbas adviser Yasser Abed Rabbo said the joint document would be negotiated in secret and should serve as the basis both for the conference and subsequent negotiations over a final agreement for creating a Palestinian state.

The two sides are still far apart on how detailed the declaration should be. Abbas wants a detailed framework agreement that would address the big issues - Jerusalem, Israeli settlements, borders and Palestinian refugees. Olmert wants a shorter and vaguer guideline for future negotiations.

It was the leaders' sixth meeting in several months. "Today's discussions create a positive atmosphere for the upcoming international meeting," said David Baker, spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office.

The two leaders decided that the drafting teams would start next week, and Abbas and Olmert would continue to meet twice a month, Baker said.

Abbas and three senior aides arrived at Olmert's official residence around noon Wednesday.

Olmert gave Abbas a brief tour of his sukkah, after which the two left their aides behind in a reception area, and held a private meeting in an adjacent office.

Following their face-to-face meeting, leaders briefed their negotiating teams on the aims of the joint declaration.

The meeting marks the start of the official negotiating process on the joint declaration, which to date has been held behind closed doors between Olmert and Abbas.

There are significant gaps between the two sides' starting positions, and a particularly bitter dispute revolves around the essence and substance of the joint declaration they are expected to draft. Olmert would like the declaration to be vague, while Abbas seek an explicit "framework" agreement with a timetable for final-status talks.

Olmert is now rejecting titles such as "declaration of principles" or "agreement of principles." Instead, he is proposing a general "declaration of interests" - a term that did not exist in previous negotiations - that would serve as a starting point for detailed negotiations to begin following the summit, which is scheduled to take place in Annapolis.

The Bush Administration may delay its planned international peace conference until late November, so that Olmert and Abbas will have more time to formulate a joint declaration.

Olmert is also demanding that the declaration include a reference to two previous documents: President George W. Bush's letter to prime minister Ariel Sharon on April 14, 2004, and the road map for a settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The Bush letter to Sharon stated that the border between Israel and the future Palestinian state could not be identical to the 1949 armistice line (i.e. the Green Line), due to the presence of "Israeli population concentrations" in the West Bank. Israel interprets this as referring to the large West Bank settlement blocs. The letter also says the final border will be established by agreement, which Israel interprets as referring to territorial exchanges.

The road map lays out a three-stage program for establishing a Palestinian state, and states that in the first stage, the Palestinian Authority must wage war on terrorism and reform PA institutions, while Israel must remove all illegal outposts established in the West Bank since 2001.

Abbas and his supporters in the Palestinian leadership fear that the United States has adopted Israel's position on the issue of the declaration, and would prefer a general statement. The Palestinians are demanding a detailed document that includes clear references to all the "core issues" of a permanent settlement - borders, Jerusalem and refugees. The Palestinians would also like to see a clear timetable for implementing such a settlement.

According to sources who spoke with senior PA officials in recent days, the following are the main demands that Abbas will present at the start of negotiations:

* Settlements: Israel should declare an immediate freeze on construction in the settlements and quickly evacuate the outposts, as well as several settlements.

* Borders: The declaration should state that the future border will be based on the 1967 lines. Exchanges of territory will be limited to 2 or 3 percent of the West Bank in order to ensure territorial contiguity for the future Palestinian state and prevent the division of the West Bank into several cantons surrounded by settlements. The territory to be exchanged must be equal in quantity and quality.

According to another Palestinian proposal, instead of referring to borders, the declaration would refer to the area of the Palestinian state in the West Bank (about 6,500 square kilometers).

* Safe Passage: The Palestinian state should have a sovereign area that will be used for passage between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

* Jerusalem: East Jerusalem, including the Old City, should be the capital of the Palestinian state and under full Palestinian sovereignty.

* Refugees: Israel should recognize its responsibility for the suffering of the Palestinian refugees and compensate them.

However, several of these demands are unacceptable to Israel, and the major differences in the two sides' positions guarantees that the negotiations will be difficult and complicated.
