“Millions” of Palestinians to March on September 20th

August 3, 2011

Israel sees the tactic as dangerous, questioning the PA’s ability to maintain the march’s stated goal of non-violence. The Israeli army chief-of-staff has already warned that if marchers move toward the border or toward an Israeli community, the army will act.

Abed Rabbo accused Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of preventing a secret meeting between Abbas and Israeli President Shimon Peres in Jordan on Sunday [July 31], the purpose of which was to find a way to avoid the impending “diplomatic crisis” in September.

It has been reported that Netanyahu is offering to reverse course and accept the Obama formula of starting negotiations within the framework of pre-1967 borders modified by land swaps in return for the Palestinians dropping the U.N. option.

Editor’s Note: The 1967 lines were armistice lines between Israel, Jordan, Egypt and other Arab nations prior to the Six-Day War and, in the context of a deal with the Palestinians, would essentially grant the Palestinians the entire West Bank [Judea and Samaria] and the Gaza Strip.
