Land For Peace

Land for Peace was first used as the basis for Israel's Peace Treaty With Egypt in 1979, which included an Israeli retreat from the Sinai in exchange for economic assistance to both sides from the United States and a peace treaty with Egypt. The international community supports the same principle for the West Bank , the Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights . In the Camp David Accords of 1978 , the establishment of a Palestinian self-governing authority is envisioned; at this time however, Jordan was regarded as a representative of the Palestinians. Numerous statements by Israeli officials indicated that much of the Israeli establishment wanted to follow a similar course with Jordan and the West Bank . However, Jordan withdrew its claims to the West Bank and subsequently signed a Peace Treaty With Israel that included only minor border adjustments. The principle reappeared in the Oslo Accords with the PLO . The hand-over of land in return for peaceful co-existence is a feature of most Proposals For A Palestinian State .
