Allon Plan

The Allon Plan ( ) was an Israeli proposal of the late 1960s to partition the West Bank , captured from Jordan in the Six-Day War of June 1967, between Israel and Jordan. It is named after Yigal Allon , who drafted it shortly after the war. The Allon Plan The broad aim of the plan was to annex most of the Jordan Valley from the river to the eastern slopes of the West Bank hill ridge, East Jerusalem, and the Etzion bloc to Israel. At the same time, the heavily populated areas of the West Bank hill country, together with a corridor that included Jericho , would be offered to Jordan. This plan was not implemented strictly as subsequent governments of Israel created settlements outside of the Jordan rift. Shafir and Peled assert that this followed a change in the "settlement" paradigm, "[s]ince the possibility of peacefully closing the frontier detached the means of the military frontier from the goal of security, continued settlements became an end in itself, searching for a new justification." The Plan was shown to King Hussein, who rejected it, saying "My problem is how to explain the solution to my nation if it is not a solution that will be acceptable to the Arab awareness." Shafir, Gershon, and Yoav Peled (2002).

The Allon Plan ( ) was a plan to partition the West Bank between Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan , create a Druze state in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights , and return most of the Sinai Peninsula to Arab control. The plan was drafted by Israeli Minister Yigal Allon shortly after the Six-Day War in June 1967. The Allon Plan The broad aim of the plan was to annex most of the Jordan Valley from the river to the eastern slopes of the West Bank hill ridge, East Jerusalem, and the Etzion bloc , to Israel. The remaining parts of the West Bank, containing most of the Palestinian population, were to become Palestinian autonomous territory, or would return to Jordan, including a corridor to Jordan through Jericho . The Jordanian King Hussein rejected the plan. Allon died in 1980, and the following year the Israeli government passed the Golan Heights Law , effectively annexing most of the governorate.

1967 plan to distribute the territory around Israel The Allon Plan ( ) was a political proposition that outlined potential next steps for Israel after the 1967 Arab–Israeli War . It was drafted by Israeli politician Yigal Allon following Israel's seizure of territory from Syria , Jordan , and Egypt ; the Israeli military had come to occupy Syria's Golan Heights , the Jordanian-annexed West Bank and the Egyptian-occupied Gaza Strip , and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula . Allon advocated a partitioning of the West Bank between Israel and Jordan, the creation of a sovereign state for Druze in the Golan Heights, and the return of most of the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt.

All remaining parts of the West Bank, containing the majority of Palestinians , were to be returned to Jordan — connected to the country by a corridor through Jericho — or reorganized as Palestinian autonomous territory. However, the Allon Plan was rejected by Jordanian king Hussein . Allon died in 1980 and his proposition was never implemented, though the Sinai Peninsula had been returned as part of the Egypt–Israel peace treaty in 1979. In 1981, the Israeli government passed the Golan Heights Law , effectively annexing the territory captured from Syria.
