Taba Negotiations

Here is the best record of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations at Taba which followed the Camp David Accords.

Zionists claim that Palestinians rejected a two state deal and never made a counter offer.

The truth was that Israel never offered Palestinians a 'sovereign state,' only the certification of theft of even more territory.  Palestinians had counter-offers.  In the end, Israel broke off negotiations at Taba, there was no 'final proposal.'

Zionists claim that the Second Intifada was Arafat's response to their negotiations.

That's impossible, because the Second Intifada began months before the Taba negotiations even started.

Robert Malley (Palestinian Negotiator) on the talks.

Palestinians accepted side-by-side Israeli and Palestinians states on the 1967 borders.

From that 1967 baseline, Palestinians accepted land swaps with certain constraints:

1) Equal size and value

2) Swaps must maintain the contiguity of their own lands, and not lead to the incorporation of Palestinians into Israel.

Subject to these constraints, Palestinians accepted that the vast majority of Israeli settlers could remain in the West Bank (a remarkable concession).

Israel rejected these constraints.

Malloy's synopsis:

Over a decade later, Malley was a key player in Barack Obama's negotiations for the 'Iran Deal' (JPCOA).  Although quite radical in his views (not unlike me) he remained in senior State Department roles until 2023.  Though many have smeared and blasted his report on the Taba negotiations, such as this article in Commentary, I have not seen a detailed deconstruction of his facts and timeline.  I think it's a fair and honest report that many voices in the establishment do not want to accept.  Since 2023 he's been under investigation for allegedly leaking confidential information.  His security clearance was revoked, but no charges have been made.  This looks like a witchhunt to me.  Otherwise, his State Department CV is incredibly impressive for a person with 'radical' views.  If he is so toxic, why had he remained in senior positions for 23 years after the Taba negotiations?  In contrast, Malley's critics, like the Commentary reporter Eli Lake are morons and moral midgets who, for example, touted Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction.
