“La mela l’avevamo già mangiata”

Per amore della storia di questo conflitto, vorrei condividere con i lettori queste poche righe di una conversazione tra Saeb Erekat e George Mitchell (che qualche mese fa ha gettato la spugna, e ha lasciato la Casa Bianca e il suo ruolo di inviato speciale per il Medio Oriente, mentre – come anche scrive Nahum Barnea oggi su Yediot Ahronot – Dennis Ross è tornato tra coloro che contano attorno al presidente USA). E’ una conversazione dell’ottobre 2009, poco meno di due anni fa. Saeb Erekat descrive quello che, in sostanza, l’Autorità Nazionale Palestinese era stata già disposta ad accettare. Praticamente tutto…

SE: I want to point out I am  answering in my personal capacity on these questions. 19 years after the  start of the process, it is time for decisions. Negotiations have been  exhausted. We have thousands of pages of minutes on each issue. The  Palestinians know they will be a country with limitations. They won’t be  like Egypt or Jordan. They won’t have an army, air force or navy, and  will have a third party to monitor … Palestinian will need to know that 5  million refugees will not go back. The number will be agreed as one of  the options. Also the number returning to their own state will depend on  annual absorption capacity. There will be an international mechanism  for resettling in other countries or in host states, and international  mechanism for compensation. All these issues I’ve negotiated. They need  decisions. The same applies to the percentage. A decision on what  percentage. We offered 2%. They said no. So what’s the percentage. You  can go back to the document we gave president Obama in May.

GM: You’re saying no direct negotiations at all?

SE: Once you’ve established  parameters of the end game, with a timeframe with incremental steps,  every single thing will have to be negotiated for implementation. So  either you put me in a position to eat the apple from the start – and BN  tells me we have a new era and takes me on a ride – or the other way I  just described – I already ate the apple. Once you have one or two  pages, once you accomplish this, you will be in a position of  peacemaking, not a peace process. This will be your hallmark. It has  been 19 years and I’ve been in all the meetings.

Il documento è stato pubblicato lo scorso gennaio all’interno dei Palestine Papers, da Al Jazeera. Lo trovate qui.
