Zone B: 24% of the West Bank; under joint Palestinian–Israeli control; and containing 450 small towns and villages.

Zone C: 74% of the West Bank; under Israeli control (pending “permanent status negotiations”); and containing Jewish settlements, Jerusalem, military bases, state lands, and external borders.12

Ironically, vague language allowed for broad interpretation. The actual wording in the accord is as follows: “Area C” means areas of the West Bank outside Areas A and B, which, except for the issues that will be negotiated in the permanent status negotiations, will be gradually transferred to Palestinian jurisdiction in accordance with this agreement.13 Arafat maintained that most of Zone C was soon to be Palestinian. Israel’s view was different:

In attempting to reassure Israelis, Foreign Minister Peres noted that under the accord, Israel would maintain control of 73 percent of the land, 80 percent of the water, and 97 percent of the security arrangements – a statement that only intensified Palestinian anxiety.
