Lake: Netanyahu to agree to 'Palestinian' reichlet
The Washington Times' Eli Lake reports that Prime Minister Netanyahu will agree to the establishment of a 'Palestinian'
state reichlet in his Sunday night speech at the Begin-Sadat Center, but with a
list of conditions that the 'Palestinians' are unlikely to accept.
The conditions he is expected to put forward include:
• Any Palestinian state must be demilitarized, without an air force, full-fledged army or heavy weapons.
• Palestinians may not sign treaties with powers hostile to Israel.
• A Palestinian state must allow Israeli civilian and military aircraft unfettered access to Palestinian airspace, allow Israel to retain control of the airwaves and to station Israeli troops on a future state's eastern and southern borders.
• Palestinians must accept Israel as a Jewish state, a nod to the hawkish side of Mr. Netanyahu's governing coalition that has raised concerns that the Palestinian Authority, which nominally governs the West Bank, does not recognize Israel as a Jewish state.
The State Department declined to comment on the details of what Mr. Netanyahu is expected to say.
The State Department may have declined comment, but a lot of other people had lots of comments.

Its the Andorra Plan. The prospects of the Palestinians and the US agreeing to it are exactly zero.
