The full text of the Wye Memorandum
=A0
Associated Press
The following are steps to facilitate implementation
of the Interim Agreement on the West Bank and Gaza
Strip of September 28, 1995 and other related
agreements including the Note for the Record of
January 17, 1997 (hereinafter referred to as "the
prior agreements") so that the Israeli and Palestinian
sides can more effectively carry out their reciprocal
responsibilities, including those relating to further
redeployments and security, respectively. These
steps are to be carried out in a parallel phased
approach in accordance with the Memorandum and
the attached time line. They are subject to the
relevant terms and conditions of the prior agreements
and do not supersede their other requirements.
I. FURTHER REDEPLOYMENTS
A. Phase One and Two Further Redeployments
1. Pursuant to the Interim Agreement and subsequent
agreements, the Israeli side's implementation of the
first and second F.R.D. will consist of the transfer to
the Palestinian side of 13 percent from Area C as
follows: 1 percent to Area (A); 12 percent to Area
(B).
The Palestinian side has informed that it will
allocate an area/areas amounting to 3 percent from
the above area (B) to be designated as the Green
Areas and/or Nature Reserves. The Palestinian side
has further informed that they will act according to
the established scientific standards, and that
therefore there will be no changes to the status of
these areas, without prejudice to the rights of existing
inhabitants in these areas including Bedouins; while
these standards do not allow new construction in
these areas, existing roads and buildings may be
maintained.
The Israeli side will retain in these Green
Areas/Nature Reserves the overriding security
responsibility for the purpose of protecting Israelis
and confronting the threat of terrorism. Activities and
movements of the Palestinian Police forces may be
carried out after coordination and confirmation; the
Israeli side will respond to such requests
expeditiously.
2. As part of the foregoing implementation of the first
and second F.R.D., 14.2 percent from Area (B) will
become Area (A).
B. Third Phase of Further Redeployments.
With regard to the terms of the Interim Agreement
and of Secretary Christopher's letters to the two
sides of January 17, 1997, relating to the further
redeployment process, there will be a committee to
address this question. The United States will be
briefed regularly.
II. SECURITY
In the provisions on security arrangements of the
Interim Agreement, the Palestinian side agreed to
take all measures necessary in order to prevent acts
of terrorism, crime and hostilities directed against
the Israeli side, against individuals falling under the
Israeli side's authority and against their property, just
as the Israeli side agreed to take all measures
necessary in order to prevent acts of terrorism, crime
and hostilities and against their property. The two
sides also agreed to take legal measures against
within their jurisdiction and to prevent incitement
against each other by any organizations, groups or
individuals within their jurisdiction.
Both sides recognize that it is in their vital interests
to combat terrorism and fight violence in accord with
Annex I of the Interim Agreement and the Note for
the Record. They also recognize that the struggle
against terror and violence must be comprehensive in
that it deals with terrorists, the terror support
structure and the environment conducive to the
support of terror. It must be continuous and constant
over a long-term, in that there can be no pauses in the
work against terrorists and their structure. It must be
cooperative in that no effort can be fully effective
without Israeli-Palestinian cooperation and the
continuous exchange of information, concepts and
actions.
Pursuant to the prior agreements, the Palestinian
side's implementation of its responsibilities for
security, security cooperation, and other issues will
be as detailed below during the time periods
specified in the attached time line.
A. Security Actions
1. Outlawing and Combatting Terrorist Organizations
a. The Palestinian side will make known its policy
for zero tolerance for terror and violence against
both sides.
b. A work plan developed by the Palestinian side
will be shared with the U.S. and hereafter
implementation will begin immediately to ensure the
systematic and effective combat of terrorist
organizations and their infrastructure.
c. In addition to the bilateral Israeli-Palestinian
security cooperation, a U.S.-Palestinian committee
will meet biweekly to review the steps being taken
to eliminate terrorist cells and the support structure
that plans, finances, supplies and abets terror. In
these meetings, the Palestinian side will inform the
U.S. fully of the actions it has taken to outlaw all
organizations (or wings of organizations, as
appropriate) of a military, terrorist or violent
character and their support structure and to prevent
them from operating in areas under its jurisdiction.
d. The Palestinian side will apprehend the specific
individuals suspected of perpetrating acts of
violence and terror for the purpose of further
investigation, and prosecution and punishment of all
persons involved in acts of violence and terror.
e. A U.S.-Palestinian committee will meet to review
and evaluate information pertinent to the decisions
on prosecution, punishment or other legal measures
which affect the status of individuals suspected of
abetting or perpetrating acts of violence or terror.
2. Prohibiting Illegal Weapons
a. The Palestinian side will ensure an effective legal
framework is in place to criminalize, in conformity
with the prior agreements, any importation,
manufacturing or unlicensed sale, acquisition or
possession of firearms, ammunition or weapons in
areas under Palestinian jurisdiction.
b. In addition, the Palestinian side will establish and
vigorously and continuously implement a systematic
program for the collection and appropriate handling
of all such illegal items in accordance with the prior
agreements. The U.S. has agreed to assist in carrying
out this program.
c. A U.S.-Palestinian-Israeli committee will be
established to assist and enhance cooperation in
preventing the smuggling or other unauthorized
introduction of weapons or explosive materials into
areas under Palestinian jurisdiction.
3. Preventing Incitement
a. Drawing on relevant international practice and
pursuant to Article XXII (1) of the Interim
Agreement and Note for the Record, the Palestinian
side will issue a decree prohibiting all forms of
incitement to violence or terror. This decree will be
comparable to the existing Israeli legislation which
deals with the same subject.
b. A U.S.-Palestinian-Israeli committee will meet on
a regular basis to monitor cases of possible
incitement to violence or terror, and to make
recommendations and reports on how to prevent such
incitement. The Israeli-Palestinian and U.S. sides
will each appoint a media specialist, a law
enforcement representative, an educational specialist
and a current or former elected official to the
committee.
B. Security Cooperation
The two sides agree that their security cooperation
will be based on a spirit of partnership and will
include, among other things, the following steps:
1. Bilateral Cooperation
There will be full bilateral cooperation between the
two sides which will be continuous, intensive and
comprehensive.
2. Forensic Cooperation
There will be an exchange of forensic expertise,
training and other assistance.
3. Trilateral Committee
In addition to the bilateral Israeli-Palestinian
security cooperation, a high-ranking
U.S.-Palestinian-Israeli committee will meet as
required and not less than biweekly to assess current
threats, deal with any impediments to effective
security cooperation and coordination and address
the steps being taken to combat terror and terrorist
organizations. The committee will also serve as a
forum to address the issue of external support for
terror. In these meetings, the Palestinian side will
fully inform the members of the committee of the
results of its investigations concerning terrorist
suspects already in custody and the participants will
exchange addition relevant information. The
committee will report regularly to the leaders of the
two sides on the status of cooperation, the results of
the meetings and its recommendations.
C. Other Issues
1. Palestinian Police Force
a. The Palestinian side will provide a list of its
policemen to the Israeli side in conformity with the
prior agreements.
b. Should the Palestinian side request technical
assistance, the U.S. has indicated its willingness to
help meet these needs in cooperation with other
donors.
c. The Monitoring and Steering Committee will, as
part of its functions, monitor the implementation of
this provision and brief the U.S.
2. PLO Charter
The Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation
Organization and the Palestinian Central Council
will reaffirm the letter of 22 January 1998 from PLO
Chairman Yasser Arafat to President Clinton
concerning the nullification of the Palestinian
National Charter provisions that are inconsistent
with the letters exchanged between the PLO and the
Government of Israel on 9/10 September 1993. PLO
Chairman Arafat, the Speaker of the Palestine
National Council, and the Speaker of the Palestinian
Council will invite the members of the PNC, as well
as the members of the Central Council, the Council,
and the Palestinian Heads of Ministries to a meeting
to be addressed by President Clinton to reaffirm their
support for the peace process and the aforementioned
decisions of the Executive Committee and the
Central Council.
3. Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters
Among other forms of legal assistance in criminal
matters, the requests for arrest and transfer of
suspects and defendants pursuant to Article II (7) of
Annex IV of the Interim Agreement will be submitted
(or resubmitted) through the mechanism of the Joint
Israeli-Palestinian Legal Committee and will be
responded to in conformity with Article II (7) (f) of
Annex IV of the Interim Agreement within the twelve
week period. Requests submitted after the eighth
week will be responded to in conformity with
Article II (7) (f) within four weeks of their
submission. The U.S. has been requested by the sides
to report on a regular basis on the steps being taken
to respond to the above requests.
4. Human Rights and the Rule of Law
Pursuant of Article XI (1) of Annex I of the Interim
Agreement, and without derogating from the above,
the Palestinian Police will exercise powers and
responsibilities to implement this Memorandum with
due regard to internationally accepted norms of
human rights and the rule of law, and will be guided
by the need to protect the public, respect human
dignity, and avoid harassment.
III. INTERIM COMMITTEES AND ECONOMIC
ISSUES
1. The Israeli and Palestinian sides reaffirm their
commitment to enhancing their relationship and agree
on the need actively to promote economic
development in the West Bank and Gaza. In this
regard, the parties agree to continue or to reactivate
all standing committees established by the Interim
Agreement, including the Monitoring and Steering
Committee, the Joint Economic Committee (JEC), the
Civil Affairs Committee (CAC), the Legal
Committee and the Standing Cooperation Committee.
2. The Israeli and Palestinian sides have agreed on
arrangements which will permit the timely opening
of the Gaza Industrial Estate. They also have
concluded a "Protocol Regarding the Establishment
and Operation of the International Airport in the
Gaza Strip During the Interim Period."
3. Both sides will renew negotiations on the Safe
Passage immediately. As regards the southern route,
the sides will make best efforts to conclude the
agreement within a week of the entry into force of
this Memorandum. Operation of the southern route
will start as soon as possible thereafter. As regards
the northern route, negotiations will continue with the
goal of reaching agreement as soon as possible.
Implementation will take place expeditiously
thereafter.
4. The Israeli and Palestinian sides acknowledge the
great importance of the Port of Gaza for the
development of the Palestinian economy, and the
expansion of Palestinian trade. They commit
themselves to proceeding without delay to conclude
an agreement to allow the construction and operation
of the port in accordance with the prior agreements.
The Israeli-Palestinian Committee will reactivate its
work immediately with a goal of concluding the
protocol within sixty days, which will allow
commencement of the construction of the port.
5. The two sides recognize that unresolved legal
issues adversely affect the relationship between the
two peoples. They therefore will accelerate efforts
through the Legal Committee to address outstanding
legal issues and to implement solutions to these
issues in the shortest possible period. The
Palestinian side will provide to the Israeli side
copies of all of its laws in effect.
6. The Israeli and Palestinian sides also will launch
a strategic economic dialogue to enhance their
economic relationship. They will establish within the
framework of the JEC an Ad Hoc Committee for this
purpose. The committee will review the following
four issues: (1) Israeli purchase taxes; (2)
cooperation in combating vehicle theft; (3) dealing
with unpaid Palestinian debts; and (4) the impact of
Israeli standards as barriers to trade and the
expansion of A1 and A2 lists. The committee will
submit an interim report within three weeks of entry
into force of this Memorandum, and within six weeks
will submit its conclusions and recommendations to
be implemented.
7. The two sides agree on the importance of
continued international donor assistance to facilitate
implementation by both sides of agreements reached.
They also recognize the need for enhanced donor
support for economic development in the West Bank
and Gaza. They agree to jointly approach the donor
community to organize a Ministerial Conference
before the end of 1998 to seek pledges of enhanced
levels of assistance.
IV. PERMANENT STATUS NEGOTIATIONS
The two sides will immediately resume permanent
status negotiations on an accelerated basis and will
make a determined effort to achieve the mutual goal
of reaching an agreement by May 4, 1999. The
negotiations will be continuous and without
interruption. The U.S. has expressed its willingness
to facilitate these negotiations.
V. UNILATERAL ACTIONS
Recognizing the necessity to create a positive
environment for the negotiations, neither side shall
initiate or take any step that will change the status of
the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in accordance with
the interim Agreement.
This Memorandum will enter into force ten days
from the date of signature.
Done at Washington D.C. this 23rd day of October
