that his government would be ready for independent statehood in two
years and that Mr. Obama said last September that he expected the
framework for an independent Palestinian state to be declared in a
year.
Mr. Obama did not indicate what the borders of that state would be,
assuming they would be determined through direct negotiations. But
with Israeli-Palestinian talks broken off months ago and the Middle
East in the process of profound change, many argue that outside
pressure is needed.
Germany, France and Britain say negotiations should be based on the
1967 lines with equivalent land swaps, exactly what the Netanyahu
government rejects because it says it predetermines the outcome.
"Does the world think it is going to force Israel to declare the 1967
lines and giving up Jerusalem as a basis for negotiation?" asked a top
Israeli official who spoke on condition of anonymity. "That will
never happen."
While the Obama administration has referred in the past to the 1967
lines as a basis for talks, it has not decided whether to back the
European Union, the United Nations and Russia — the other
members of the so-called quartet — in declaring them the starting
point, diplomats said. The quartet meets on April 15 in Berlin.
Israel, which has settled hundreds of thousands of Jews inside the
West Bank and East Jerusalem, acknowledges that it will have to
withdraw from much of the land it now occupies there. But it hopes
to hold onto the largest settlement blocs and much of East Jerusalem
as well as the border to the east with Jordan and does not want to
enter into talks with the other side's position as the starting point.
That was true even before its closest ally in the Arab world, President
Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, was driven from power, helping fuel
protest movements that now roil other countries, including Jordan,
which has its own peace agreement with Israel.
