This smaller swap proposal would have allowed only 166,429 settlers - barely more than half of the total settlement population – to remain in their current homes and be annexed into Israel. This would have required uprooting 132,599 settlers in 101 settlements — 38,373 more than the number called for in option 3 , and 72,817 more than in option 1

An Evaluation Proposals modeled on the Geneva approach of uprooting much larger numbers of settlers could prompt serious social unrest in Israel, in addition to giving far fewer settlers a stake in supporting a peace agreement. The scenarios outlined in options 1, 2 and 3 could sharply decrease societal turmoil in Israel while maintaining the same 1:1 land swap ratio that characterized the Geneva exercise. However, grass-roots efforts promoting the Geneva initiative are continuing, as it remains the only land-swap proposal that already has both Israeli and Palestinian signatories.
