According to a report filed by Raviv Drucker of Channel 10 News, in her capacity as foreign minister under the Olmert administration, Kadima leader Tzipi Livni offered the PA (Palestinian Authority) 92.7 of Yehuda and Shomron. This even exceeds the offer made ten years earlier by Ehud Barak during the Camp David II summit.
The report added Livni, who headed Israel’s negotiating team, offered compromises regarding the Jordan Valley, but regarding Ariel, it would remain part of Israel, albeit isolated in a Palestinian state.
Livni also offered a land exchange formula to compensate the PA’s generosity, permitting Israel to annex 7.3% of Yehuda and Shomron with land inside the Green Line, “Israel proper”, 3% instead of the 7.3%.
Officials on Livni’s staff released a carefully-worded statement, “that an offer including Jerusalem and the refugees was not put on the table by Livni,” totally ignoring the report stating she did offer 92.7% of Yehuda and Shomron.
Nearing the end of his term, Olmert made his own generous offer to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), exhibiting a willingness to turn over 93.5% of Yehuda and Shomron. In addition, Olmert agreed to divide Jerusalem and permit the return of so-called “Palestinian refugees”.
Outdoing his foreign minister, Olmert’s plan entailed annexing only 6.5% of Yehuda and Shomron, and it would have paid the PA 5.8% in compensation, also inside the Green line. This was in addition to ageing to accept thousands of refugees, further complicating the demographic threat facing Israel today.

Rabot machshavot b’lev eesh,
Atsat HaSh-m HEE takum!
The “leaders” of the state are just a succession
of fools who have absolutely no musag of how to think and act as a Jew (let alone the leader of a Jewish state).
Baruch Hash-m, His eyes on are on Eretz Yisrael constantly and He foils their stupid plans.
I can only assume the reason He did not foil the insane plan to abandon Gush Katif was (perhaps) to teach a little lesson of what happens when He DOES allow these fools to carry out their plans.
HaSh-m yirachaiym…
