The U.S. plan called for an Israeli withdrawal from 13.1% of the West Bank, but Israel refused this suggestion and continued procrastinating.
Israel proposed withdrawing from 10%, and another (3%) later, but the Palestinian government refused these suggestions and said the 13% proposal is less than the minimum Palestinian demands yet they agreed to the proposal and say they refuse to accept any adjustments in the withdrawal percentage.
