Revision as of 16:25, 2 September 2006 by Ian Pitchford (talk | contribs) (clean up using AWB)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)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. 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.
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."
