On territory, the Palestinian proposal gave Israel either 2.5% (according to [[Peter Beinart|Beinart]]<ref name=":0" />) or 3.1% (according to Emerson and [[Nathalie Tocci|Tocci]]<ref name=tocci>{{Cite book |last1=Michael |first1=Emerson |title=The Rubik Cube of the Wider Middle East |last2=Tocci |first2=Nathalie |author-link2=Nathalie Tocci |publisher=[[Centre for European Policy Studies]] |year=2003 |pages=76–77}}</ref>) of the West Bank. The proposal demanded any territory in occupied West Bank annexed by Israel be swapped one-to-one with territory inside Israel.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book |last1=Friel |first1=Howard |title=Israel-Palestine on Record |last2=Falk |first2=Richard |publisher=[[Verso]] |year=2020 |pages=181}}</ref> Israel would have to evacuate [[Kiryat Arba]] and [[Hebron]].<ref name=sher>{{cite book |last1=Sher |first1=Gilead |author1-link=Gilead Sher |title=Israeli-Palestinian Peace Negotiations, 1999-2001 |date=2013 |publisher=[[Taylor & Francis]] |pages=131–132}}</ref> A corridor between the West Bank and Gaza Strip was proposed for the movement of people and goods, via a narrow strip of Israeli land. The corridor would remain under Israeli sovereignty.<ref name=tocci/>

On Jerusalem, the Palestinians propose Israeli sovereignty over the Jewish neighborhoods of East Jerusalem and Palestinian sovereignty over the Arab neighborhoods.<ref name=":0"/> In the [[Old City of Jerusalem]], Israel would get the [[Jewish Quarter (Jerusalem)|Jewish Quarter]] and parts of the [[Armenian Quarter]], while Palestine would get the [[Muslim Quarter (Jerusalem)|Muslim Quarter]] and the [[Christian Quarter]].<ref name=sher/> Israel would get the [[Western Wall]], while Palestinians would get the [[Temple Mount]]/[[Al-Aqsa Mosque]].<ref name=":0"/> The Palestinians proposed that instead of setting up border checkpoints inside Jerusalem, the border checkpoints should be set around the city. This meant Palestinians wishing to enter their own capital city would be treated as crossing an international border (and same with Israelis entering their capital). But once inside the city, citizens and traffic would be free to move around.<ref name=jerusalem>{{cite book |title=Track Two Diplomacy and Jerusalem The Jerusalem Old City Initiative |date=2017 |publisher=[[Routledge]] |isbn=9781317213321 |pages=238–240}}</ref> If this was not acceptable to Israel, the Palestinian alternate proposal was to have a "hard border" between Israeli and Palestinian parts of Jerusalem.<ref name=jerusalem/>

On security, the Palestinian proposal allowed for an international military force (including Americans<ref name=sher/> but not including Israelis<ref name=":0"/>) to control the Palestinian state's border with [[Jordan]]. The State of Palestine would also coordinate with Israel for the [[Israeli Airforce]] to use the Palestinian airspace.<ref name=sher/>

On refugees, Palestinian insisted on the [[Right of Return]] but the proposal would, according to [[Robert Malley]], respect the "preservation of Israel's demographic balance between Jews and Arabs".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Finkelstein |first1=Norman |title=Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict |date=2016 |page=18}}</ref> Under the Palestinian proposal mechanisms would be created to make it more attractive for refugees to choose to settle any other place beside Israel.<ref name=refugees>{{cite book |last1=Dumper |first1=Michael |title=Palestinian Refugee Repatriation |date=27 September 2006 |publisher=[[Taylor & Francis]] |page=99}}</ref> Erekat proposed that the return of Palestinian refugees from Lebanon serve as a "pilot" program to see whether refugees choose to return to Israel or go somewhere else.<ref name=refugees/><ref name=sher/> In this pilot program, Israel would admit 2,000 refugees per year over a 5-6 year period under the framework of [[family reunification]].<ref name=refugees/>
