The realignment plan (Hebrew: תוכנית ההתכנסות; Arabic: خطة إعادة التنظيم), originally dubbed the convergence plan, was a proposal by Israel to unilaterally disengage from 90% of the West Bank and annex the rest, incorporating most Israeli settlements into Israel. The plan was formulated and introduced to the Israeli public by then acting prime minister, Ehud Olmert, in a number of media interviews during the election campaign for the 17th Knesset in March 2006.^[1]

The Convergence Plan was originally scheduled to be implemented within 18 months from early May 2006, but in November 2007, Olmert said that he hoped to implement it within three to four years.^[1] Opinion polling found that the proposal was unpopular among the Israeli public.^[2]
