ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a performance-based and goal-driven roadmap, with clear phases, timelines, target dates, and benchmarks aiming at progress through reciprocal steps by the two parties in the political, security, economic, humanitarian, and institution-building fields, under the auspices of the Quartet. The Quartet Ministerial statements will meet regularly at senior levels to evaluate the parties’ performance on implementation of the plan. In each phase, the parties are expected to perform their obligations in parallel, unless otherwise indicated. In Phase I, the Palestinians immediately undertake an unconditional cessation of violence according to the steps outlined; such action should be accompanied by supportive measures undertaken by Israel. Progress into Phase II will be based upon the consensus judgment of the Quartet of whether conditions are appropriate to proceed, taking into account performance of both parties. Progress into Phase III, based on consensus judgment of Quartet, and taking into account actions of both parties and Quartet monitoring.
