Sharon peace plan offers no land concessions to Palestinians
Israel's frontrunner Ariel Sharon publishes a peace plan that would keep all current Jewish settlements and grant the Palestinians little more land. Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat calls the plan a recipe for disaster. Prime Minister Ehud Barak dismisses it as unlikely to bring peace while Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami notes a slim chance for a peace deal before the February election. Arafat indicates readiness for intensive talks, with possible meetings in Cairo and a new round at the Red Sea resort of Taba. Clinton's framework influences negotiations, proposing a Palestinian state in Gaza and much of the West Bank, while Israel would retain critical security zones and expand settlements around Jerusalem.
