1977 - Israel?s Self-Rule Plan

In December 1977, Prime Minister Menachem Begin announced his autonomy plan. The plan for the first time formally suggested that the solution to the problem in the West Bank and Gaza involved some combination of self-rule and shared rule. The plan calls for administrative autonomy of the Arab residents in the West Bank and Gaza districts, and the election of an 11-member Administrative Council (among other provisions). Palestinian leaders rejected Begin's self-rule plan.
