Haaretz has released 'secret cables' which detail Israel's plan of attack to the diplomatic efforts at the UN. They seem a bit paranoid to me.. but you be the judge.

The comments are quite interesting too, eg:
Marcus Silverman:
I've never really understood the Israeli objection to Palestinian statehood. If a unilateral declaration of independence was the right path for Israel, then there should be no objections if the Palestinians do the same. Perhaps the Israelis fear a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders would require them to withdraw the settlers from the illegal settlements in occupied Palestinian territory. That might be the price tag the Israelis will ultimately have to pay for their arrogance and greed - compliance with International Law.

End of story.You know what you get when you take someone's land for no money? 63 years of war! You'd better get this settled while you still can.

If someone's land was taken, give it back or pay just compensation. The UN, (the entity that took land from Arabs and gave it to Jews to remedy problems caused by the Germans), needs to to invoke something like the legal Doctrine of Eminent Domain and award Just Compensation in exchange for a Release of Claims to those who lost property. At the same time we need to draw some sensible borders enabling the Palestinians to establish a state. As far as the Jewish settlers go, they should be permitted to stay where they are. If they find themselves in Palestine they'll be Palestinian citizens. Jewish Palestinians. Israel has Arabs. Palestine can have Jews. It's the same thing. No artificial borders for them. The fact is, once the settlers come to grips with this, most of them will leave voluntarily. If some zealots chose to stay and become citizens of Palestine let them. Finally, if in Israel there is land that can be reasonably retaken by formerly displaced occupants then, instead of monetary compensation, restore to them. If they take it back they get to live there or sell it or use it in some reasonable way as per their choice.
Indeed.
