  Binyamin Elon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 Elon Peace Plan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Elon Peace Plan is a solution for the Arab-Israeli conflict proposed in 2002 by Rabbi Binyamin Elon, who was the Israeli tourism minister at the time he put forward his proposal.
The plan advocates the formal annexation of West Bank and Gaza by Israel and that the now stateless Palestinians will be transferred to Jordan.
Elon and Moledet (Elon's party and the chief support of this plan) propose that "Israel, the United States and the international community will allocate resources for the completion of the exchange of populations that began in 1948 and the full rehabilitation of the refugees and their absorption and naturalization in various countries".

 WorldNetDaily: Radical new plan for Mideast peace
Named for Benny Elon, the relatively small Moledet Party's leader and a member of the Knesset, the new peace plan calls for transferring Arabs from the West Bank and other areas to what Elon calls the "existing state of Palestine" – the nation of Jordan.
Elon points out that not one Arab leader has agreed to the most far-reaching Israeli offers for a peace agreement – even one carving up Jerusalem and placing part of it in the hands of the Palestinians.
Elon and his party will make a big public relations push on their peace plan in the coming months – both in Israel and in the United States.

 Think-Israel
A comprehensive, internationally funded development plan for Jordan, most of whose territory is undeveloped, would facilitate the absorption and naturalization of the Arabs of Judea, Samaria and Gaza.
As part of the plan to end the conflict and create a new and stable map in the Middle East, the border between Palestine and Israel must be drawn at the Jordan River, and all the areas west of the Jordan must be formally annexed to the State of Israel.
This is indicative of the fact that the PA is not a genuine peace partner and in fact is a hindrance to peace.

 Elon Peace Plan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Elon Peace Plan is a solution for the Arab-Israeli conflict proposed by Israeli tourism minister Binyamin Elon.
Elon is the chairman of the Moledet party, which is known for its policy of "voluntary" transfer.
The primary motivation for the plan is the demographic trend that will make Jews a minority in the area west of the Jordan River occupied by Israel before the end of the first decade of the 21st century.

The peace plan was drafted by members of the Quartet - the United States, the United Nations, Russia and the European Union - and aims to end more than three years of Mideast violence and establish a Palestinian state by 2005.
Israel, however, listed 14 comments on the "road map" peace initiative, which have not been adopted by the United States, nor were they mentioned in the UN Security Council endorsement of the plan.
Elon's peace plan, which he has promoted in Israel and among Christian supporters of Israel in the United States, calls for two genuine, sovereign states - a Jewish State to the west of the Jordan River and a Palestinian Arab state to the east of the Jordan River.

The Elon Peace Plan is a solution for the Arab-Israeli conflict proposed by Rabbi Binyamin Elon, who was the Israeli tourism minister at the time he put forward his proposal.
Since Elon is the leader of the small ultra-right Moledet party, which is part of a coalition of parties called the National Union, this plan is considered irrelevant by the vast majority of Israelis and all Palestinians.
Those new Jordanian citizens who choose not to accept the invitation to move away, according to the Elon plan, would be welcome to remain in Israel as permanent resident foreign nationals so long as they remained peaceful and law abiding residents.

 Israeli-Palestinian Peace plans and final status proposals
Some of the recent proposals are expressly designed to subjugate one side or the other and cannot be considered "peace plans." Some of the initiatives are intended to be the basis for a peace plan or a method of arriving at a peace plan, but aren't complete solutions and don't pretend to be.
The Saudi-initiated plan for a comprehensive peace calls for settlement of the Palestine-Israel conflict and other outstanding disputes, followed by termination of the state of war that has existed between Israel and all Arab countries and recognition of Israel.
Their plan insists that refugees will return to Israel, though not necessarily to the homes they abandoned in 1948, as these do not exist for the most part.

 Benny Elon Presented "Jordan is Palestine" Plan to Prince Hassan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Elon peace plan, entitled "The Right Road to Peace," calls for the residents of the refugee camps to be resettled in Arab countries, while other Arabs living in Yesha will become Jordanian citizens.
MK Elon, who headed Yeshivat Beit Orot in Jerusalem before entering politics - he succeeded the murdered Rehavam Ze'evi as head of the Moledet Party - hinted that his meeting with Prince Hassan was conducted with the consent of both Jerusalem and Amman.
The plan makes clear that a small, sliced-up and crowded Palestinian state in the areas of Judea and Samaria, aside a threatened and narrow Israel - such as envisioned in the Road Map plan - is a sure recipe for war in the near future.

 israelinsider: politics: Sharon slams Elon's U.S. promotion of "road map" alternative   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Elon, who flew to the United States on official business to promote tourism to Israel, planned to also meet with Congressmen and other government officials and warn them of the dangers of the "road map" to Israel and convince them of the viability of his own plan.
Rotenberg said, however, "that if Elon is asked, and he will be about the road map, he will not hide his opinion." In that case, Elon would tell people that he opposes the "road map" and that he has an alternative plan, Rotenberg said.
Elon's plan, which will soon be released officially to the media, consists of a multi-step process that includes, as first steps, dismantling the PA and terminating terror, Rotenberg said.

The Peace Process, formerly known as Oslo, moved Palestine from the Intifada play to a non-violent "Gandhi" position for 7 years, as people optimistically awaited the final agreement which would lead to Palestinian self-determination.
Finally, the Geneva Accord, which is a precise expression of the final settlement anticipated by the peace process, is funded by the ROW, and attempts to try to reunite centrist public opinion behind again attempting to find a less bloody equilibrium in the conflict.
It seems clear that only a very strong and sustained external stimulus could overcome the equilibrium and drive public opinion back to the consensus that peace is possible, and to architect the public and social infrastructure for a peaceful Palestinian state.

Elon, who has recently flown to the United States on official business to promote tourism to Israel, has also planned to meet with U.S. Congressman and other government officials for the purpose of demonstrating to them that the peace plan currently being envisioned has some major flaws.

Palestinians charge that the plan is a ruse to trade Gaza for a permanent grasp over most of the West Bank.
They insist that such moves must be coordinated with the U.S.-backed "road map" peace plan, which leads to a Palestinian state.
Sharon angrily told the hard-liners that the plan has not been made final, the officials said - and then pointedly invited them to leave the government if they were unhappy.

But as of May 25th, the plan was approved by the Israeli cabinet by a vote of 12 to 7 with 4 abstentions, and it's poised to move forward.
Moreover, Elon maintains that the nation of Jordan is the true Palestinian state with approximately 70 per cent of its population self-identifying as Palestinian.

According to them, Israel was established according to the Zionist dream of Jews being a people like any other with their own right to self-determination.
The reason for such establishment was to have a state where Jews would not be afraid of anti-Semitic attacks and live in peace.
Religious Zionists counter that assimilating to be "a nation like any other" without embracing one's culture does what anti-Semites have not been able to achieve for thousands of years, mainly the destruction of the Jews as a people.

Benny Elon, a member of Israel’s Knesset and head of the Moledet party, is today the most prominent exponent of the "two states for two people on two sides of the Jordan River" and population transfer idea.
The new/old plan has nothing to do with making land concessions to Arabs, negotiations with Yasser Arafat, extending the Oslo Accords or creating a new Palestinian state inside the state of Israel.
The new peace plan calls for transferring Arabs from the West Bank and other areas to what Elon calls the "existing state of Palestine"—the nation of Jordan.

The statement added that the "appearance of the aforementioned newspaper reports causes severe damage to Israel." Israel Radio quoted Sharon as having said the plan was "wild and dangerous" to the State of Israel.
Future relations - there would be an international role in the negotiations and in keeping the peace, and in addition provisions for financial aid to the Palestinians and their economy, regional economic cooperation and an agreed mediation process for potential disputes between the two states.
Palestinian sources have also reportedly dismissed the plan, as it does not call for a total Israeli withdrawal to the 1967 borders and the establishment of East Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian State.

Lapid said a new plan should be broader than the original and suggested it include the renewal of peace talks with the Palestinians.
Lapid, who has led efforts to keep Sharon's disengagement plan on track since the referendum, addressed the ministers, prompting two hard-line ministers, Avigdor Lieberman and Benny Elon, to walk out, saying they did not want to be part of a "pathetic" discussion, participants said.

 West Bank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The status of East Jerusalem is controversial: it meets the above description of territory constituting the West Bank, but has been annexed by Israel, so Israel no longer considers it part of the West Bank; however, the annexation is not recognized by the United Nations or any individual country.
In either case, it is often treated as separate from the West Bank due to its importance; for example, the Oslo Peace Accords treat the status of East Jerusalem as a separate matter from the status of the other Palestinian territories, to be resolved at a later undetermined date.
According to the plan, the city of Jerusalem and the surrounding towns (including Bethlehem) would be an internationally administered territory, whose future would be determined at a later date.
