Clinton-era memo reveals Israeli officials pushing near‑total Palestinian sovereignty in Jerusalem during 1998 summit

Clinton-era memo reveals Israeli officials pushing near‑total Palestinian sovereignty in Jerusalem during 1998 summit The passage provides a concrete internal memo referencing specific Israeli negotiators (Shlomo Ben‑Ami, Gilead Sher) and Palestinian figures (Saeb Erekat, Mohammed Dahlan) discussing a proposal for a 90% Palestinian share of the West Bank and a divided Jerusalem. It offers a clear lead for investigators to locate the original memo, verify the negotiation details, and assess whether any U.S. officials were aware of or influenced by these proposals. While not a brand‑new revelation, it adds detail to known peace‑process negotiations and could expose diplomatic missteps or hidden concessions. Key insights: Israeli officials allegedly offered up to 90% of the West Bank to a future Palestinian state.; Proposed division of Jerusalem: Palestinian sovereignty over Arab neighborhoods, Israeli sovereignty over Jewish neighborhoods.; Clinton administration was briefed on these proposals via a note from an unnamed U.S. official.
