Israel's conservative defense minister explains what needs to happen for Israeli conservatives to support the Trump administration's peace plan.
President Donald Trump's proposed plan for peace between Israel and the Palestinians contains elements that we find difficult to swallow, but overall it is an objectively wise and fair model for proceeding in our relationship with the Palestinian Authority .
Yet none of this has had any international consequences for the Palestinians—or reduced demands on Israel. The Palestinians are allowed to claim the benefits of Oslo without actually upholding it. This cannot happen again. So for the Trump administration's peace vision to have our support, three absolute conditions must be met—especially given that Israel's commitments are not for six months, but for four years.
The obligations for Israel are quite clear. For example, Israel commits to go far beyond what was required in Oslo and not build at all in 50 percent of what Oslo dubbed"Area C." But even though Area C is already under Israeli jurisdiction, the plan does not make clear that the Palestinians cannot build there and that any such Palestinian building would negate Israel's parallel obligations.
