Officials: Israel to allow construction in existing W. Bank settlements  
 
By Reuters  
 
Israel will allow construction within built up areas of existing Jewish
settlements in the West Bank, but will not expand beyond those areas,
Israeli officials said on Monday. 
The position could widen the rift in U.S.-backed peace talks launched by
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas during
a regional peace summit held in Annapolis, Maryland last month. 
The Palestinians say the negotiations, the first in seven years, hinged on
Israel committing to halt all settlement activity, including "natural
growth," as called for under the long-stalled road map peace plan. 
 
The Bush administration has likewise urged Israel to stop settlement
expansion. 
A senior Israeli official said "We don't need American approval if we are
doing something that we think, as a sovereign state, we should do." 
While Israel's decision would allow construction within existing built-up
areas, the land that lies between existing buildings and the much larger
outer jurisdictional boundaries of the settlements would be off limits,
officials said. 
The first round of the peace talks following Annapolis opened in discord
last week after the Palestinians demanded a halt to Israeli plans to build
some 300 new homes in the East Jerusalem neighborhood known to Israelis as
Har Homa and to the Palestinians as Abu Ghneim. 
The senior Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the
Har Homa development plan was approved 10 years ago by the Israeli
government and called for 6,500 units, 4,500 of which are already being
built and lived in. 
"We told the Americans and the Palestinians that in those places, within
the built-up line, Israel will continue to build, because there is no
other way," the official said. 
The official said the fate of Har Homa and other building projects
depended on the outcome of the negotiations, which Olmert and Abbas said
they hoped to complete before Bush leaves office in January 2009. 
"If Har Homa will not be part of Israel, it doesn't matter if Har Homa is
5,000 units or 6,000 units, Har Homa will be dismantled," the official
said. 
Israeli officials have sought to play down the rift over settlements,
saying Abbas and Olmert were expected to meet as early as next week and
that their negotiating teams would reconvene on December 23 or 24 ahead of
a visit early next month by U.S. President George W. Bush. 
In addition to requiring from Israel to end all settlement activity, the
road map's first phase calls on the Palestinians to crack down on
militants. Israeli officials have conditioned implementation of any peace
deal on the Palestinians upholding their end in both the West Bank and the
Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. 
"Before Palestine will be established, Gaza will have to comply with the
rules that exist in the first phase of the road map," the senior Israeli
official said. 
The official said Israel defined a settlement freeze as a commitment not
to build any new settlements and not to confiscate any additional
Palestinian lands for settlement use. 
Included in its definition of a settlement freeze, the official said
Israel will not provide economic incentives for more Israelis to move to
existing settlements. 
"It doesn't mean people cannot go and live in existing settlements. Where
there are vacant places, vacant apartments, people can go and live there
with their families," he said. 
"If somebody bought an empty lot in one of the settlements 10 years ago
and he owns it, and he decides now in the year 2007, 10 or 15 years after
he purchased it, to build on it, the government of Israel cannot do
anything about it." 
The official said it was unclear what "natural growth" included.

Traduco.
Gli insediamenti sono fatti di piccole comunità sparse sul territorio e grandi 
insediamenti di confine. Questi ultimi sono delle città che qualunque 
pre-accordo di pace ha sempre prevvisto come annesse definitivamente a Israele, 
in cambio di varie contropartite a seconda dell'accordo.
Qui, nelle aree de facto israeliane, si sta costruendo. Altrove si sta già 
smantellando.

"pre-accordo di pace".  Un'ottima espressione.

 "pre-accordo di pace".  Un'ottima espressione.
Credo descriva perfettamente Ginevra e in parte gli accordi a cui si è andati 
più vicini, e da cui in ogni caso occorrerà ripartire, come Taba.
