<p style="font-size:10pt;">AL-KHALIL, (PIC)&#8211; Former Israeli  premier Ehud Olmert said in a new book that &#8220;there is nothing called the  right of return&#8221; and settlements and Jewish outposts in the east of  occupied Jerusalem will remain if there is a peace agreement with the  Palestinians.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In his 544-page memoirs, the days of  decisions, Olmert further vindicated the authenticity of Al-Jazeera TV  papers that exposed the concessions made by the Palestinian authority  negotiators and de facto president Mahmoud Abbas.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The former premier stated in his book that  he was just around the corner to reach a solution with the Palestinian  authority (PA) over a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders and land  swaps in the West Bank and Jerusalem.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He said the Jewish neighborhoods that were  built illegally in east Jerusalem would remain under Israel&#8217;s  sovereignty in agreement with the PA, while the holy basin would be  under the mandate of five countries protecting rights of the three  heavenly religions.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">As for the right of return, he explained  that he agreed with the Palestinian party on allowing the return of some  Palestinians for humanitarian considerations to the future Palestinian  state, but he said Israel would be the party that determines the number  of Palestinians whose return would be permitted.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The premier talked in his book that the PA  negotiators agreed on letting Israel keep its settlements around  Jerusalem such as Ma&#8217;ale Adumim.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">His book also states that the future  Palestinian state will be devoid of any military force or any foreign  presence and will be prevented from joining military alliances with  countries having no diplomatic ties with Israel.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">According to the book, Israel is free to  use the airspace of this Palestinian state and control the West Bank  electromagnetic field.</p>
