§ The Earl of Sandwichasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they consider that the Ehud Barak proposals, if implemented today, would satisfy Security Council resolutions on withdrawal or accurately reflect the "land for peace" principle. [HL4693]
§ Baroness AmosThere is no single authoritative account of talks at Camp David and Taba in July 2000 and February 2001. However, it seems clear that discussions were in accordance with UNSCR 242, and that withdrawal from much of the West Bank was proposed. Despite substantial progress in developing ideas for a solution, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators were not able to reach agreement. Nevertheless Camp David and Taba may well have established a framework for handling these issues in the future.
