Summary
Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs at the time of the 2000 Camp David negotiations, in Nimer’s account, who later admitted that he would have rejected the offer made there had he been Palestinian (The Enduring and Racist Trope of Palestinian Rejectionism, line 165).
Details
- Nimer gives the Camp David proposal Ben-Ami is quoted against as a quasi-state with no control over its borders and no sovereignty over its capital, airspace or natural resources, annexations dissecting the West Bank into non-contiguous cantons, a permanent Israeli military presence, refugee rights sidelined, and an Israeli authority to invade the West Bank at any time; the proposal was, in Nimer’s words, “so dismal and unjust” that even Ben-Ami later admitted he would have rejected it as a Palestinian (line 165). No source or date for the admission is given in the commentary.
