Baker's Five Points
December 6, 1989
1. The United States understands
that because Egypt and Israel have been working hard on the peace process;
there is agreement that an Israel delegation should conduct a dialoguewith a
Palestinian delegation in Cairo.
2. The United States understands
that Egypt cannot substitute itself for the Palestinians and Egypt will consult
with Palestinians on all aspects of that dialogue. Egypt will also consult with
Israel and the United States.
3. The United States understands
that Israel will attend the dialogue only after a satisfactory list of
Palestinians has been worked out.
4. The
United States understands that the Government of Israel will come to the
dialogue on the basis of the Israeli Government's Initiative. The United States
further understands that Palestinians will come to the dialogue prepared to
discuss elections and the negotiating process in accordance with Israel's
initiative. The united States understands, therefore, that Palestinians would
be free to raise issues that relate to their opinions on how to make elections
and the negotiating process succeed.
5. In order to facilitate this
process, the United States proposes that the Foreign Ministers of Israel,
Egypt, and the United States meet in Washington within two weeks.
