Clinton‑Arafat negotiations on West Bank land swap and Jerusalem outlined in private briefing

Clinton‑Arafat negotiations on West Bank land swap and Jerusalem outlined in private briefing The passage records a behind‑the‑scenes conversation where President Clinton discusses potential Israeli actions and a proposed land‑swap percentage with Yasser Arafat, including a vague American guarantee. It offers concrete leads – specific percentages (90‑92% of West Bank), settlement bloc extensions, and a security zone – that could be pursued for verification, but it lacks dates, financial details, or direct evidence of wrongdoing, limiting its immediate investigative impact. Key insights: Clinton relays a private briefing on Israeli‑Palestinian negotiations.; Proposed extension of Israeli sovereignty over major settlement blocs.; Suggested security zone in the Jordan Valley.
