Robert Malley, one of the most influential U.S. diplomats and Middle East peace negotiators of the past three decades responds: “I’d never use the word generous.” “The Palestinians agreed to the two-state solution. Arafat accepted 22% of historic Palestine — the mother of all concessions,” from his perspective, Malley said. He adds that “no Israeli government accepted full withdrawal from the West Bank, Gaza, or East Jerusalem,” nor a sovereign Palestinian state controlling borders or security. ——— ▪️Note: In the late Ottoman period (1880–1914), before large-scale Zionist immigration under British rule, Palestinian Arabs made up roughly 92% of the population of the land. Even by 1947, after decades of immigration, Arabs were still about 67% of the population, Jews 33%. Palestinians also owned around 90% of the land. Yet the UN Partition Plan awarded the Jewish state 56% of the territory. Nearly half of the people living inside the proposed “Jewish state” were Palestinian Arabs. Against that reality, the Palestinian acceptance of a state on just 22% of their country was not the absence of compromise — it was the largest concession made by either side.
