Israel makes red lines clear as Washington prepares peace plan

"If the Trump administration's peace plan contains elements that run counter to Israel's interests, Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu won't hesitate to oppose them," a senior Israeli official tells Israel Hayom. Israel will also demand full security control over Judea and Samaria, insist on a united Jerusalem, and won't accept the "return of even a single Palestinian refugee to its territory," the official says.

"If the Trump administration's peace plan contains elements that run counter to Israel's interests, Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu won't hesitate to oppose them," a senior Israeli official told Israel Hayom on Tuesday.

According to the official, Israel has made it clear to Washington that its red lines, among other things, include the "removal of even one Jewish community or person" from Judea and Samaria.

Additionally, in any future peace deal, Israel will demand full security control over Judea and Samaria and seek to preserve a united Jerusalem.

The senior official added that Israel also won‎'t accept the "return of even a single Palestinian refugee to its territory."

"It's highly probable" that the Trump administration's peace plan will be unveiled in the coming weeks or months, the official estimated, but noted that the decision was US President Donald Trump's alone.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Authority and Hamas on Tuesday dismissed Israeli media reports over an Israeli plan to encourage Palestinian emigration from Gaza and Judea and Samaria.

Arab and Palestinian media outlets, however, paid considerable attention to the story, which was based on quotes from a senior Israeli official.

The official confirmed that the emigration plan was already in motion and that some 35,000 Palestinians had relocated abroad from Gaza and Judea and Samaria.

"That's a pretty high number," the senior official told reporters, adding that Israel is also willing to pay for flights and to use Nevatim airport in southern Israel to expedite the emigration.

The senior official noted that the National Security Council has been dealing with the effort for the last year, and that the government was currently in talks with countries in the Middle East and Europe to absorb the potential émigrés, but so far no country has agreed.
