Beres and Baker:
Above
all, Jerusalem must argue vigorously against new European Union guidelines,
insisting that Palestine’s borders never be based upon pre-1967 lines. In the
words of an Israeli legal expert, Ambassador Alan Baker: “The legality of the
presence of Israel’s communities in [Judea and Samaria] stems from the
historic, indigenous and legal rights of the Jewish people to settle in the
area, granted pursuant to valid and binding international legal instruments,
recognized and accepted by the international community. These rights cannot be
denied or placed in question.” Accordingly, Jerusalem should clearly affirm
that Israeli settlement activity is recognizably consistent with international law.
