Prime Minister Ehud Barak said he is ready to recognize an independent Palestinian state but would defer Jerusalem and refugee issues for up to three years. Palestinian leaders rejected the plan, saying it ignores core demands. Two months of violence have derailed talks and pushed Israel toward elections in spring.
