By Jack Khoury and Haaretz Service Palestinian negotiators secretly agreed to concede almost all of East Jerusalem to Israel, Al-Jazeera TV reported Sunday, as part of a series of 1,600 secret documents regarding Israeli-Palestinian negotiations efforts over the last several years that are due to be released. The documents reveal confidential concessions offered by Palestinian negotiators, including on the issue of the right of return of Palestinian refugees, as well as serious territorial concessions. Al-Jazeera TV reports that the Palestinian Authority offered in June 15 of 2008 that Israel annex all settlements in Jerusalem except Har Homa, the first time in history the Palestinians made such a proposal, one that they refused to in Camp David. Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, also proposed in an October 2009 meeting that Jerusalem's Old City be divided, giving Israel the control over the Jewish Quarter and part of the Armenian Quarter. Further details reveal a Palestinian agreement to the return of solely 10,000 Palestinian refugees into Israel, and that Erekat agreed to the Israeli demand of recognizing Israel as a Jewish state. The documents detail the last two decades' negotiations on Israel-Palestinian peace efforts, which were classified as highly secret.
