Anticipatory Bail Part of: GS Prelims and GS-II- Indian Polity In News Supreme Court has held that the protection of anticipatory or pre-arrest bail cannot be limited to any time frame or “fixed period” The life of an anticipatory bail order does not normally end at the time and stage when the accused is summoned by the court, or when charges are framed, but can continue till the end of the trial. A denial of bail amounts to deprivation of personal liberty (Article 21), thus, the Court should lean against the imposition of unnecessary restrictions on the scope of Section 438 Do You Know?

Required Actions from
Israel: Freeze further settlement activities on the West Bank for four years — the time for negotiations.
Palestine: The Palestinian Authority should dismiss its current complaints at the International
Criminal Court against Israel and refrain itself from taking further actions. It should also crack down on
“terrorist” groups such as Hamas and the Islamic Jihad
What would Palestinians get?
$50 billion in investment over 10 years should Palestine accept the proposals.
In the final settlement, Palestine would get control over more land than what it currently controls
According to the Oslo Accords, the West Bank was divided into three areas and only one of them is
under the direct control of the Palestinian Authority (30% is given to Israelis)
The plan also seeks to enlarge Gaza and connect the strip with the West Bank through a tunnel.
The Arab towns in the southeast of Israel, which are close to Gaza, could become part of a future
Palestinian state.
Palestine’s Position – backed by most of the world powers
The formation of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state based on the 1967 border meaning the
whole of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip
East Jerusalem as Palestine’s capital (including the Old City that houses Haram esh-Sharif, also
known as Temple Mount, a holy site for both Muslims and Jews).
Responses to the Plan
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “realistic path to a durable peace”
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed the plans as a “conspiracy”
India urged both Israel and Palestine to “engage with each other, including on the recent proposals put
forward by the United States, and find an acceptable two-state solution for peaceful coexistence”.
Analysis of the Plan
The plan clearly shows that US has completely sided with Israel without even involving Palestinians
during drafting process.
Critics have said the real intention could be to change the start point of future negotiations — the
Palestinians will begin with a disadvantage, and be forced to fight to simply hold on.
Connecting the Dots
Impact of the plan on region’s stability especially in the backdrop of escalating US-Iran tensions
Impact on domestic elections in Israel and USA
