These settlers can be resettled in the three blocks of settlements along the 1967 border (consisting of 43 settlements in which more than 214,000 settlers reside) which will, by agreement with the Palestinians, likely become part of Israel proper in an equitable land swap.
And Viacom had been talking to Equitable about swapping its stake in the CBS Building, 51 West 52nd Street, for 1515 Broadway.
Nevertheless, Fayyad has stated that the Palestinian state must include the entire West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, in other words, the borders of 1967 before the Six Day War (presumably with equitable land swaps to incorporate those settlements close to the Border (the Green Line) into Israel).
But despite Mr Obama's welcoming words, none of the five parties in the new government – Shas, United Torah Judaism, Kulanu, Likud and the Jewish Home – has a platform which comes close to the basic Palestinian demand of an Israeli withdrawal to the pre-1967 lines, with minor land swaps of equitable value.
