"For the first time in more than a hundred years of conflict a detailed and comprehensive solution was agreed upon which settles the most critical issues of this conflict," the Palestinian and Israeli negotiators said in a statement, meaning the unofficial treaty, called "Geneva Accord" to be signed on Monday. The signing will take place before a closely guarded guest list, expected to include Jimmy Carter and other Nobel peace prize winners. The treaty proposes borders between Israel and a future Palestinian state close to Israel's borders before the 1967 Mideast war. It also gives the Palestinians almost all the West Bank and Gaza Strip and part of Jerusalem.
