Agenda item 753 (continued): the West Bank
“I want to tackle the problem of maximum and minimum. The question is whether to accept a maximum number of Arabs with the minimum amount of territory or the minimum number of Arabs and maximum territory. Either we get minimum territory with minimum Arabs, or maximum territory with maximum Arabs. It is a tough decision”
(Zeev Sherf, Minister of Trade and Industry, page 16).
