ABSTRACT

Israel is concerned to advance and improve the current situation. Israel has come to the conclusion that there is currently no reliable Palestinian partner with which it can make progress in a bilateral peace process. Accordingly, it has developed a plan of unilateral disengagement, based on the following considerations: When there is evidence from the Palestinian side of its willingness, capability, and implementation in practice of the fight against terrorism and the institution of reform as required by the Road Map, it will be possible to return to the track of negotiation and dialogue. No foreign security presence may enter the Gaza Strip or the West Bank without being coordinated with and approved by Israel. Israel supports the development of sources of employment in the Gaza Strip and in Palestinian areas of the West Bank.
