Revision as of 18:06, 17 September 2006
The Allon Plan is an historic proposal to end the Israeli occupation of the West Bank with a negotiated partition of territories between the Jewish State and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The plan was an attempt to implement the "Jordanian option" to the Palestinian refugee problem (also known as "Jordan is Palestine"). It is named after its chief proponent, Yigal Allon.
The broad aim of the plan was to create a security border running up from the Jordan Valley to the eastern slopes of the West Bank hill ridge, retain sovereignty of that area, avoid Israeli settlement of heavily populated areas within the West Bank, and to offer them to Jordan in exchange for peace. There are some (mostly left-wing) Israelis and Israeli sympathizers who still believe that a "Jordanian option" still exists, however most pragmatists agree that this option has died long ago, if it ever existed at all.
This plan was not implemented strictly as subsequent governments of Israel created settlements outside of the Jordan rift. Shafir and Peled asser that this followed a change in the "settlement" paradigm, "ince the possibility of peacefully closing the frontier detached the means of the military frontier from the goal of security, continued settlements became an end in itself, searching for a new justification."
