He didn’t propose it- he said the US supported it. He also made mention of the many years the US has invested in trying to find a solution. He did not make it sound as if this was his idea. What was major is that he strongly supported a 2 state solution officially, and borders going back to the 1967 ones. This is one guy who won’t be strutting around the deck of an aircraft carrier, with a huge mission accomplished banner waving in the wind.
Mr. Strauss-Kahn’s lawyers filed a new application for his release in State Supreme Court on Wednesday night, reiterating their client’s earlier offer to put up $1 million cash bail and wear an ankle monitor. The new application also said that Mr. Strauss-Kahn would remain under 24-hour home confinement in a Manhattan apartment recently rented by his wife, with an armed guard posted outside — presumably to ensure that he stays inside. He also submitted a waiver of extradition, should the American authorities need to get him back from France.
The judge agreed to those conditions, also requiring $5 million bond to be posted.
