1. Draw a boundary for the Jerusalem Metropolitan Area (JMA).

2. Adjust the 1967 line between the "West Bank" and Israel by a few km to widen the very narrow Israeli central belt.

3. The boundary for Israel will INCLUDE the JMA.

4. The boundary for Palestine will ALSO INCLUDE the JMA.

5. Israeli troops/police patrol the Palestinian side of the JMA.

6. Palestinian troops/police patrol the Israeli side of the JMA.

9. Israel controls exit from the JMA into Israel.

10. Palestine controls exit from the JMA into Palestine.

11. The Gaza Strip is part of Palestine.

12. All Israeli forces are withdrawn from both parts of Pal...
