Netanyahu Not Bound by Olmert's Offer to Abbas
(Jerusalem Post) Gil Hoffman - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under no obligation to honor any of the commitments that former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert made to the Palestinians, Netanyahu's associates said on Saturday, reiterating statements Netanyahu made throughout his campaign a year and a half ago. Newsweek's Kevin Peraino reported in a June 2009 interview that Olmert "says he offered Abbas 93.5 to 93.7% of the Palestinian territories, along with a land swap of 5.8% and a safe-passage corridor from Gaza to the West Bank that he says would make up the rest. The Holy Basin of Jerusalem would be under no sovereignty at all and administered by a consortium of Saudis, Jordanians, Israelis, Palestinians and Americans."
