The opening as it read in 2010

Clinton's Outline ) is a term attributed to the guidelines for Permanent Status Agreement, that were offered by then President of the United States , Bill Clinton , in late 2000. The background for 'Clinton's Parameters' was the opening of the Second Intifada , 'al-Aqsa Intifada', the failure of 2000 Camp David Summit , the up coming Israeli elections , which polls indicated a possible defeat for then Prime Minister Ehud Barak , and the end of the Clinton presidency, in which Clinton desired to end the eight years of Peace efforts and Middle East arena in a successful note. The proposal was presented in 23 December, 2000, with an emphasis by the President that the proposal was a 'take it or leave it' plan, in which each side may accept it or reject it as is, and may not offer any changes to it. 'Clinton's Parameters' included relinquishment of Palestinian claim for the right of return , Israeli concession of sovereignty in Temple Mount , though an Israeli sovereignty will remain over the Jewish Holy Site of the Western Wall and a symbolic ownership was to remain on the rest of Temple Mount. Jerusalem and the Old City of Jerusalem to be divided, and a Palestinian State to be established on most of the disputed territories of Judea, Samaria and Gaza (also known as "Occupied territories"), with the exception of the 'Block of Settlements' ( Ma'ale Adumim , Ariel and Gush Etzion ) that were to be annexed to Israel . According to the plan, the Palestinian State was to include 94-96% of the West Bank (Judea and Samaria), and around 80% of the settlers were to remain under Israeli sovereignty, and in exchange for that, Israel will concede some territory (so called 'Territory Exchange' or 'Land Swap') within the Green Line (1967 borders). The swap would consist of 1-3% of Israeli territory, such that the final borders of the West Bank part of the Palestinian state would include 97% of the land of the original borders. Despite the 'Clinton's Parameters' being contradictory to the principles that Prime Minister Ehud Barak committed himself during his election campaign, like 'Undivided Jerusalem' and sovereignty over Temple Mount, the 'Clinton Parameters' received a broad support within the Israeli Cabinet, with only Cabinet Minister, Roni Milo , resigning over his objection to the Cabinet's approval of the plan. The Palestinian response was evasive. Additional attempts to reach a compromise in Taba Summit were rejected by the Palestinian side. In Israel, The Prime Minister's opponents claimed that his government lacks the support of the Israeli public, the Knesset (Israeli parliament) and the polls, and that he was submitting Israel to a "liquidation sale". Despite 'Clinton's Parameters' being the guidelines of recent year's compromises proposals, it does not oblige the Israeli Governments and was contradictory to Ariel Sharon 's policy, when he replaced Prime Minister Ehud Barak in Office. In 2010, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said that the Palestinians and Israel have agreed on the principle of a land swap. The issue of the ratio of land Israel would give to the Palestinians in exchange for keeping settlement blocs is an issue of dispute, with the Palestinians demanding that the ratio be 1:1, and Israel offering less.¹

In a meeting in the White House, on 2 January 2001, Yasser Arafat also officially accepted the parameters with reservations. The White House confirmed this the following day in a statement which said that "both sides have now accepted the president's ideas with some reservations." In 2005, Clinton wrote that he considered the Israeli reservations within the Parameters and the Palestinians' outside them. Others argue that Clinton's parameters denied Palestinians what they were legally entitled to under international law, specifically, sovereignty over the entirety of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees' right of return to Israeli territory they inhabited before 1948 and dismemberment of Israeli settlements on Palestinian West Bank territory.
