MK Elon: Int'l body must resettle Palestinians
In a novel Israeli approach to one of the prickliest issues facing Israeli
and Palestinian negotiators, MK Benny Elon (NU-NRP) is proposing the
establishment of an international body in lieu of UNRWA to deal with the
resettlement of Palestinian refugees over the next decade. 
 
The proposal, part of the hawkish parliamentarian's alternate peace plan
known as "The Israeli Initiative," is meant to be "a first step" towards
resolving one of the most difficult final status issues. 
"Successive [Israeli] governments have chosen to stick their head in the
sand when faced with the looming fear of the refugee issue," Elon writes
in a newly-expanded chapter of his three-pronged plan. 
"Needless to say, this policy has been ineffective. The Palestinian
refugee problem has grown in size and, in effect, it has given birth to
terror and Palestinian nationalism." 
Elon notes that all Middle East peace processes have included elaborate
calls for repatriation or resettlement programs for Palestinian refugees.
Yet, he says, resolving the refugee problem has always been left until the
end of any given process, with the issue remaining an open and festering
sore that is exploited by extremist elements in the Islamic and Arab world
and used as a political weapon against Israel. 
Elon's unconventional proposal calls to establish an international body
that would be comprised of Israel, Jordan, the US and other unspecified
countries. This body would cooperate with representatives of the
Palestinian refugees to work toward their resettlement in countries of
refuge within a decade. 
"The resolution of this problem deserves a concerted effort, considering
its influence on the stability of the Middle East and the peace of the
entire world," Elon writes. 
He estimates that $25 billion would be needed to cover the cost of
repatriating Palestinian refugees. 
He conditions the establishment of such an authority, however, on the
dismantlingt of UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. UNRWA
deals exclusively with Palestinian refugees and their descendants, and,
Elon charges, has helped perpetuate the suffering of Palestinian refugees
by ensuring the continued existence of Palestinian refugee camps. 
UNRWA's current mandate is scheduled to end on June 30, 2008. 
Elon notes that even as a group of US congressmen began working last year
to stop US funding to UNRWA, Israeli governments have feared dismantling
the organization "as part of their continual avoidance of correctly
dealing with the refugee problem." 
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, estimated at anywhere from 400,000
to 750,000, left their homes in 1948 and 1949, and their fate - and that
of their millions of descendants - represents one of the toughest issues
in negotiating a settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. 
During the same period, some 850,000 Jews fled Arab countries after
Israel's founding in 1948 and were integrated and absorbed in Israeli
society. 
Elon's proposal for resolving the Palestinian refugee problem rules out
allowing them to return to the State of Israel. His stance remains in
keeping with longstanding government policy that an influx of refugees
would demographically damage Israel's character as a Jewish state. 
"The question that remains open is not whether they will return to their
homes, just as Jews will not return to Poland, Iraq or Morocco - but
rather, how to resettle them in spite of the fact that they have been
uprooted from their homes," he said. 
The other two central facets of Elon's plan, which has attracted US
congressional interest, are maintaining Israeli sovereignty over the West
Bank and recognizing Jordan as the Palestinians' official representative
instead of the Palestinian Authority.
