A New Egyptian Peace Plan – End Game

The London daily Al-Hayat reports, citing an Egyptian diplomatic source, that during their trip to Washington on January 8, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmad Abu Al-Gheit and Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman presented to U.S. President Barack Obama a plan for renewing negotiations, called "End Game."

The plan includes the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in the 1967 borders, including eastern Jerusalem, with an option for territorial exchange, as well as international guarantees for the establishment of the Palestinian state, and a proposal for sources of authority for a permanent arrangement by the international community.

The source added if these principles are agreed on, an international peace conference will be held in Egypt in March or April, and to this end efforts will be made for the completion of the Palestinian reconciliation.
