srael's Labour opposition produces own peace plan

JERUSALEM (AFP) Nov 26, 2003
Israel's main opposition Labour party announced on Tuesday the main principles of its own peace plan for the region, which is based on Israel withdrawing from the Palestinian territories it has occupied since 1967.

The plan, approved by Labour's political committee, foresees the creation of a Palestinian state and a return by Israel to its 1967 borders, with the exception of rectifications made for security reasons or to include Jewish settlements.

The announcement was made only several days before the expected launch of a Middle East peace plan known as the Geneva Initiative, which is an alternative to the faltering "roadmap" for peace sponsored by the United States.

The outline of Labour's plan coincided with the release by right-wing Israeli settlers of another blueprint for the Middle East, which rules out the creation of a Palestinian state or the dismantling of any of their settlements.
