Olmert urges broad land concessions for peace
Gwynne Dyer surveys Ehud Olmert’s farewell interview in Yedioth Ahronoth. Olmert says Israel must withdraw from most 1967 territories and cede East Jerusalem for any lasting peace with Palestinians and Syria, a deal unlikely in the near term amid regional instability and Islamist ascendance. He notes Rabin’s era could have offered such terms, but contemporary leaders won’t risk unpopular concessions.
