Summary
The name the Peace to Prosperity Vision gives to the proposed sovereign capital of the State of Palestine, located not in the Old City but “in the section of East Jerusalem located in all areas east and north of the existing security barrier, including Kafr Aqab, the eastern part of Shuafat and Abu Dis, and could be named Al Quds or another name as determined by the State of Palestine” (Peace to Prosperity: A Vision to Improve the Lives of the Palestinian and Israeli People, PDF p.21).
Details
- The existing security barrier “should remain in place and should serve as a border between the capitals of the two parties”, while “Jerusalem will remain the sovereign capital of the State of Israel, and it should remain an undivided city” (Peace to Prosperity: A Vision to Improve the Lives of the Palestinian and Israeli People, PDF p.21).
- “Jerusalem should be internationally recognized as the capital of the State of Israel. Al Quds (or another name selected by the State of Palestine) should be internationally recognized as the capital of the State of Palestine”; after signing, the United States embassy to the State of Palestine will be in Al Quds at a location chosen by the United States in agreement with the State of Palestine (Peace to Prosperity: A Vision to Improve the Lives of the Palestinian and Israeli People, PDF p.23).
- A Jerusalem-Al Quds Joint Tourism Development Authority (JTDA) is to promote Jewish, Muslim and Christian tourism in both states, funded in part by a share of increased Old City tourism tax revenues (Peace to Prosperity: A Vision to Improve the Lives of the Palestinian and Israeli People, PDF p.22).
- Palestinian zoning and planning in areas adjacent to the border, “including without limitation, the border between Jerusalem and Al Quds, will be subject to the State of Israel’s overriding security responsibility” (Peace to Prosperity: A Vision to Improve the Lives of the Palestinian and Israeli People, PDF p.28).
- The United States will work with the Palestinian Authority to identify economic projects for Al Quds within the economic plan (Peace to Prosperity: A Vision to Improve the Lives of the Palestinian and Israeli People, PDF p.25).
- In the Vision’s Glossary, “AL QUDS: Shall have the meaning set forth in Section 5” (Peace to Prosperity: A Vision to Improve the Lives of the Palestinian and Israeli People, PDF p.5).
