There are various possible definitions of autonomy, embracing, in particular, the distinction between personal and territorial autonomy. With reference to the Occupied Territories, we have witnessed two approaches. Egypt proposes territorial autonomy, excluding, in the interim period, control over external security and foreign relations. Israel's approach is that of Begin's 1977 plan which speaks only of personal autonomy. One can compose a scheme of the similarities and differences between the two approaches, in terms of elections, administrative and legislative bodies, personal versus territorial autonomy, powers of legislation and security arrangements. Information about various examples of and aspects of autonomy should be made available for public discussion.
