Olmert had only offered Palestinians cantons

The situation was tense since yesterday after Israeli government announced reaching a substantial agreement with Palestinians on the borders and cited Gush Katif as the precedent for its willingness to do away with Jewish villages. Today the Palestinians complained that Olmert offered them a cantonized statelet. Lieberman ventured that idea before, and it is indeed a common sense: let Palestinians make a state in the parts of Judea and Samaria they de facto occupy now, and that’s it. No peace agreement with Palestinians is in sight.
