Deputy PM Meridor: '67 Borders unacceptable, However Likud would agree to transfer land to PA

(Jpost).Deputy Prime Minister Dan Meridor said that the Likud would back the transfer of some West Bank land to Palestinians, in a Monday interview with Army Radio.
"A Palestinian state within 1967 borders is "unacceptable", and the world has already recognized that the main settlement blocs in Judea and Samaria would stay in Israeli hands."

"However, it is an Israeli interest of the highest degree to transfer more of the West Bank to Palestinian control...Without an initiative, the whole world will recognize a Palestinian state with 1967 borders".
Meridor was referring to the transfer of uninhabited land in Area C to Palestinian controlled Area A as a gesture.
