Former Deputy Defense Minister Shimon Peres has proposed that Israel set up an administration for the Arab areas occupied in the Six-Day War based on what he described as the Quebec model. He said that Israel should grant a fixed representational status to the Arabs of the West Bank for the next 100 years similar to what he described as the arrangement made for the Province of Quebec within the Dominion of Canada. Mr. Peres spoke at Tel Aviv University.
