The picture above is a Palestinian rendering, based on a sketch made by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on a napkin, of a map with land swap proposals shown to Abbas by then-prime minister Ehud Olmert in mid-2008.
"Abbas was not allowed to keep the map," Al Jazeera reported, so Abbas sketched it by hand. Noted al Jazeera: It shows Israel retaining ‘all of its major West Bank settlements - Ma'aleh Adumim, Ariel, Kedumim and others -none of which were included in the Palestinian offers."
