Onderstaande is waarschijnlijk vooral speculatie, en het venijn zit hem waarschijnlijk in de staart: hoe en wanneer en onder welke voorwaarden moet deze Palestijnse staat worden gerealiseerd? Wat is een 'beperkt' recht op terugkeer? En houdt Israel ook rechten in de oude stad van Jeruzalem?

'Obama ME plan calls for demilitarized Palestinian state'
JPost.com Staff , THE JERUSALEM POST
Amid much speculation over US President Barack Obama's upcoming address to the Muslim world, reports published on Wednesday outlined the details of his plan for the Middle East.
The US president's initiative, which was formulated in consultation with Jordanian King Abdullah during the two leaders' recent meetings at the White House, reportedly does not significantly stray from the Pan-Arab peace initiative. Rather, it bolsters certain details within the Saudi-proposed plan.
The Obama-Abdullah plan was put together in response to concerns from both Israel and US that the Arab plan was too general and intransigent.
The initiative, which Obama is expected to present in his Cairo speech in three weeks, reportedly sets out conditions for a demilitarized Palestinian state, with east Jerusalem as its capital.
The matter of borders will be solved by territorial exchanges between Israel and the Palestinians, and the Old City will be established as an international zone. The plan also allows for a limited Palestinian right of return.
Reports of the US president's new initiative surfaced as Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was meeting with Obama in Washington earlier this week. During his visit, Obama emphasized his commitment to a two-state solution. Netanyahu reiterated his goal to live side-by-side with the Palestinians, though he did not specifically mention a two-state solution.
