2. The Palestinians assert that, at Camp David, Israel sought to annex almost 9 percent of the Palestinian Territories and in exchange were offered only 1 percent of Israel's own territory.

The figures advanced by the Palestinians are simply not accurate. Former Israeli Prime Minister has made it perfectly clear that he was willing to evacuate 95 to 96% of the West Bank. While annexing 4 to 5% of the territory - thus absorbing a series of Israeli communities located close the Green Line and responding to security needs- he offered the Palestinians a land swap in an amount that represented a compensation for the land annexed. The exact amount of "swap land" was never negotiated. The gist of Israel's proposal is not about annexation but about giving the Palestinians sovereignty for the first time in their history.
