Rogers plan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wikisource has original text related to this article:

The Rogers Plan was a framework proposed by United States Secretary of State William P. Rogers to achieve an end to belligerence in the Arab-Israeli conflict following the Six-Day War. Originally proposed in a December 9, 1969 speech at an Adult Education conference[1], the plan was formally announced on 19 June 1970. [1] The full text of the plan can be viewed on the United Nations UNISPAL website. [2]

The December 1969 speech followed the failure of the Jarring Mission to negotiate an implementation plan for UN Security Council Resolution 242 among the principals in the Six-Day War. Both Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir and Israeli Ambassador to the United States Yitzhak Rabin had conferred with U.S. President Richard Nixon in the last few months of 1969, but Rogers' speech was viewed as a surprise[citation needed].

Allison Astorino-Courtios writes: "According to the plan, a ninety-day cease-fire would allow for clearing the Suez Canal of ships stuck there since the 1967 war. In addition, Israel, Egypt, and Jordan were to meet to discuss implementation of UN Resolution 242 which calls for Israeli withdrawal from territories occupied in 1967 and mutual recognition of each state's sovereignty and independence." [2]

The Israeli interpretation of the plan was that it required Israel to withdraw from areas captured during the Six-Day War without any assurances of a lasting peace from Arab states. There was also considerable resistance among Israelis about the status of Jerusalem. As a result, the Israeli government determined that support of the plan would be "irresponsible."[3]

The plan was formally accepted by both Egypt and Jordan in July 1970 [3], with the full support of the Soviet Union [4].
