Summary
A plan drawn up in 1963 by a group of senior Israeli officers and officials, which Ilan Pappe’s chapter in For Palestine says “would ultimately be implemented in 1967, to abolish the military rule imposed on the Palestinians inside Israel and instead impose it on those Palestinians living in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip after their planned occupation” (For Palestine — Essays from the Tom Hurndall Memorial Lecture Group, PDF p.71).
Details
- Pappe presents the plan as the practical stage of elite planning, under way since 1948, to take over the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, which moved forward once David Ben-Gurion, the principal politician objecting to such a takeover, was removed from political life in 1963 (For Palestine — Essays from the Tom Hurndall Memorial Lecture Group, PDF p.70-71).
