There is not the remotest chance any Palestinian leadership could accept these terms.

Before making any unilateral move, Israel must wait for a Palestinian rejection that will provide Jerusalem with the legitimacy to annex essential territories in the West Bank.
Jonathan Cook, The National
The proposal deliberately includes a host of unrealisable preconditions before what remains of Palestine can be recognised
