Arutz Sheva has received an unconfirmed report that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu plans to announce a plan to uproot communities and carry out mass evictions in Judea and Samaria.
Due to the political impasse between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, Netanyahu is expected to propose a final status solution that would leave Israel with only the major settlement blocs and eastern Jerusalem.
All Jewish communities outside the major settlement blocs would reportedly face destruction under the plan.
The report follows a report Monday morning in the Hebrew-language Ma'ariv newspaper claiming that Netanyahu has agreed to relinquish sovereignty over the Jordan Valley.
A senior political source told Arutz Sheva that Netanyahu will present the plan to retreat from Judea and Samaria to U.S. President Barack Obama in exchange for the U.S. endorsing the principles Netanyahu laid out in his Bar Ilan speech.
Those principles are:
1.The Palestinians must recognize Israel as the Jewish nation’s state. 2.The treaty must be an end to the conflict. 3.The Arab refugee problem must be solved outside of Israel’s borders. 4.A Palestinian state will have to be demilitarized and a peace treaty must safeguard Israel’s security. 5.The settlement blocs will remain within the State of Israel and Jerusalem....

The People’s Front of Judea will not be pleased.
Neither will the Judean Peoples’ Front.
Probably not a good idea.
This was completely expected based on his past performance as PM of Israel from 1996-1999.
Remove the word “status” and what do you have?
Occupy Judea and Samaria. Occupy Temple Mount. Occupy Knesset. Stop Bibi now.
Don’t “occupy”; take it back.
This will happen right after Barack Obama joins the NRA. End of discussion.
Relax. Bibi is offerring the arabs what they claim they want, with full knowledge that what they REALLY want (you and me dead) and what they say they want (a country) are night-and-day.
The arab turds will never agree to a Jewish state.
>>1.The Palestinians must recognize Israel as the Jewish nation’s state.
“This will happen right after Barack Obama joins the NRA. End of discussion.”
This was my thought as well. In fact, all five of those points would seem to unacceptable to the Palestinians and Obama. Thus assuring nothing will ever happen. But it can appear he was willing to make some concessions.

My thought as well, but what happens if they call his bluff, and agree to his proposal unconditionally?
I am highly suspicious of this report. Bibi knows that all he has to do is wait it out for the GOP nominee to oust Barry from the the Whitehut and all will be well again. I would be shocked to learn he is willing to give up that kind of ground and also uproot communities. I think this is probably just rumors.
The PA will never agree.
(Hence, it’s a good proposal which Bibi knows will be rejected, but which will look good to the US and Europeans).
Of course the Arabs would accept that offer.
I hope and pray that y’al are right! Bibi knows better than that! Please, dear Lord, don’t let it be true!
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Not an unreasonable solution, assuming a solid majority of Israelis want it. And where the lines are drawn. And it's done unilaterally
Making such offers is in and of itself damaging and dangerous. The concession bar keeps getting higher, until at some point some nincompoop will offer something so suicidal that the Arabs WILL accept. And in the interim, to prove he’s serious, Bibi the Human Accordian will have to uproot a few more outposts, a few established communities with paved streets and traffic lights, even. Mine doesn’t have traffic lights, but paved streets, yes. This is close to suicidal what he’s offering right now. I won’t relax.
Even if it’s just rumors, if it’s in a major news outlet, people have to react forcefully. There must be no doubt whatever. This must spell the end of his government. Perfect chance for a no-confidence vote is the Outpost Law, which will require objective evidence and a burden of proof for Arab claims that an outpost was built on private land. Now, all they have to do is make the claim to the high court. That’s insane. A statutory change should have been made years ago. But Bibi’s opposed—vehemently. Out upon the rascal.

Of course, we are dealing with Bibi the Human Accordian, here. So there’s no trusting any reassuring statements he makes.
