Document details previous Israeli-PA talks

JERUSALEM, Dec. 13 (UPI) -- A newly released document reveals Israeli and Palestinian negotiators reached agreements on issues related to borders, refugees and Jerusalem in 2000 and 2001.

The document, titled "The Status of the Diplomatic Process with the Palestinians Points to Update the Incoming Prime Minister," was signed by Gilad Sher, bureau chief to then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak. It details the results of talks at Camp David in the United States and Taba, Egypt, in 2000 and 2001, Haaretz reported Thursday.

The document also details Palestinian objections to Israel's security demands at the time. The Palestinian Authority raised issue with Israeli's call for the demilitarization of the Palestinian territories, as well as the country's insistence on giving Israeli forces the right to deploy to the Jordan Valley in emergency situations.

The plan, initially agreed to by both sides, would have kept portions of the West Bank inhabited by Israeli settlers under the control of Israel, increased security in the Old City and East Jerusalem, and created a wide security zone along the Dead Sea.

The document says then-U.S. President Bill Clinton agreed on the security issue in the spirit of Israel's positions, but after the summit, the Palestinians "reneged on most of the understandings."
