The EU's relations with West Bank and Gaza Strip - Overview To accompany the Gaza disengagement process, the EC furthermore establishes an infrastructure facility to repair or build the infrastructure required to deliver essential services to the population in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Disengagement from Gaza and Northern parts of the West Bank is, therefore, a significant step, offering a prospect of sustained peace in the region provided that the disengagement process leads to progress towards a viable Palestinian state living in peace and security with Israel. The Gaza Disengagement marks the first ever removal by Israel of settlements built on Palestinian land seized in the 1967 war. europa.eu.int /comm/external_relations/gaza/intro   (4854 words)

The Jewish Tribune - Current News Articles TEL AVIV – With the disengagement over and all the Gaza settlements razed, the evacuated settlers are now facing the daunting task of rebuilding their homes and lives elsewhere in Israel. GAZA STRIP – A year and a half after Prime Minister Ariel Sharon first announced his plan, the disengagement was set in motion early Monday morning, with thousands of security forces deployed inside and around the Gaza Strip to carry out and secure the evacuation of the nearly 8,500 families living in the settlements. JERUSALEM – The reasons that Benjamin Netanyahu resigned as finance minister in the Sharon government are dramatically underscored in a half-hour Israeli-produced and Los Angeles-distributed DVD entitled A Stab in the Heart, which comprehensively and authoritatively states the case against the Gaza disengagement. www.jewishtribune.ca /tribune/tribune.htm   (4854 words)

bitterlemons.org - Unstable governments Some Israelis and most Palestinians are certain that Sharon's disengagement plan for Gaza and northern Samaria is a conspiracy to freeze the peace process and hold onto the remainder of the West Bank. It is naïve to believe that you can throw the international community the bone of disengagement from Gaza, thereby proving that the settlement movement is reversible, and thus silence its growing appetite for creating a settlement-free Palestinian state in both the West Bank and Gaza. This reasoning is mirrored by those in the Israeli security establishment who interpret the rocket attacks as an attempt by Hamas to portray disengagement as an Israeli retreat in the face of a victorious Islamist enemy. www.bitterlemons.org /previous/bl181004ed37.html   (4854 words)

Transcript of GPO briefing on disengagement According to the Disengagement Plan, the Israeli government decided that during the next three years, 15,000 employees will be allowed into Israel from the Gaza Strip and 20,000 from the West Bank. The responsibility for workers from the Gaza Strip is not the same from before the Disengagement Plan and after. For example, the airport, the port, continuity between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, cargo, goods, people, all these issues will need to be discussed and we do this at several levels of course, from our level to the political level. www.mfa.gov.il /MFA/Peace+Process/Guide+to+the+Peace+Process/Transcript+of+GPO+briefing+on+disengagement+30-Aug-2005.htm   (4854 words)

yaledailynews.com - Disengagement, for Israel's own reasons In Israel, a land of many bumper stickers, there is one that reads: "CNN Lies." During disengagement from Gaza over the last few weeks, CNN hasn't exactly been lying, but the media has done a poor job conveying the issues driving Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and four remote settlements in the West Bank. The most obvious reason for disengagement is the blatant impracticality of maintaining the settlements in Gaza. While disengagement was by definition one-sided, and therefore its explanation must also be largely one-sided, the question the cable news networks like to focus on remains the question of peace. www.yaledailynews.com /article.asp?AID=29663   (4854 words)

Sharon's Disengagement Plan Opponents of the disengagement plan ran a well-organized campaign pointing out the value of the Jewish communities in Gaza, particularly the beautiful Gaza agricultural area of Gush Katif built by Israeli capital and labor. The plan ethnically cleanses Jews from the Gaza Strip and historically Jewish parts of Samaria, the modern "West Bank".

Crosswalk.com - Sharon's Disengagement Plan Faces Another Test The disengagement plan would move some 7,800 Israelis from their homes in 22 communities in the Gaza Strip as well as a smaller number from four West Bank settlements. But bringing Labor into the government would enable Sharon to carry out the disengagement plan, which calls for removing settlers and the military from the Gaza Strip as well as from four West Bank settlements. Meanwhile, Shuvi, a women's movement in favor of the Gaza withdrawal plan, planned to demonstrate on Wednesday evening in front of the auditorium where the Likud convention is being held. www.crosswalk.com /news/1279933.html   (4854 words)

Disengagement - Track Record Examined Israel's 1993/6 disengagement from Gaza and 40% of Judea and Samaria established the pro-Saddam/Taliban PA, coinciding with the dramatic rise in anti-US Islamic terrorism, leading to the Twin Towers terrorism. In 1994 Israel disengaged from 85% of Gaza (and 100% of its population). The 1994 disengagement created the largest terrorist base in the world, led/harbored by PLO graduates of terrorist camps in Yemen, Iraq, Sudan, Syria, Lebanon and Tunisia. nyjtimes.com /cover/03-08-05/Disengagement-TrackRecordExamined.htm   (4854 words)

Israelis fight orange and blue battle over Gaza -- Middle East Times And it is this sense that the fight over disengagement in Gaza is "getting personal" that has led to a bipartisan, blue versus orange, explosion of color on Israel's streets. This week, parliamentary aide David Harmelin, aide to Likud party MK Naomi Blumenthal, was denied entry to the Knesset for having dyed his hair orange to protest against the disengagement. While Peace Now activists a week ago were giving out pro-pullout from Gaza blue ribbons to motorists at Arlosorov traffic junction in Tel Aviv, a police car pulled over and fined five of them $50 each for "standing in the street while not on official duty". metimes.com /print.php?StoryID=20050707-093314-4710r   (1064 words)

Yoni 4 Knesset: August 2005 Archives As part of unilateral disengagement, the United States has demanded that the Palestinian Authority (PA) be permitted to open an international seaport, as well as the reopening Gaza's international airport. Ahead of the removal of the Jews of Gaza, the Israeli government warned the Palestinian Authority that the Disengagement Plan includes provisions for a massive offensive into Gazan PA in response to attacks by Arab terrorists.

Ariel Sharon's Disengagement Plan - text of the Plan and exchange of letters with George Bush 2004 We welcome the disengagement plan you have prepared, under which Israel would withdraw certain military installations and all settlements from Gaza, and withdraw certain military installations and settlements in the West Bank. In late 2003, with the roadmap for peace stalled, Israeli PM Ariel Sharon announced his intention to unilaterally withdraw Israeli forces and to evacuate four Israeli settlements from Gaza and a small section of the northern West Bank (Samaria).. The execution of the Disengagement Plan holds the prospect of stimulating positive changes within the Palestinian Authority that might create the necessary conditions for the resumption of direct negotiations. www.mideastweb.org /disengagement.htm   (18755 words)

Rafah - Palestine Disengagement was a unilateral Israeli decision, and the specific details of the withdrawal from Gaza were as difficult for the Palestinian authorities to ascertain as for the settlers. Even though the Israeli "disengagement" from Gaza is only days away, Rafah's civilian neighborhoods have been targeted for seemingly random shooting and shelling from the Army watchtowers near the border and around the settlements, as well as from circling Apaches and from some of the more militant settlers. The religious settlers, led by many outspoken rabbis in and out of the settlements, are opposing the disengagement with everything from media-savvy civil disobedience, to threats of violence, and even medieval curses. rafah.virtualactivism.net /news/todaymain.htm   (18755 words)

Indymedia UK - disengagement Disengagement from these Palestinian territories, which is opposed by many of the settlers, will begin on 20 July. Partial disengagement is a beginning but today’s developments do not go anywhere near far enough.

bitterlemons.org - The Egyptian role in the disengagement plan The Egyptian role in the Israeli plan to disengage from the Gaza Strip is one of two major modifications Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon introduced after first failing to gain the support of his own party for his disengagement plan. Nor is Sharon's ability to "deliver" an operational disengagement package a given, in view of the political complications and his own difficulty in enunciating a convincing rationale for dismantling the settlements he once built. Egyptian interest in the disengagement plan initiated by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has not faltered despite the bitter political struggle over the plan within the Israeli government. www.bitterlemons.org /previous/bl070604ed20.html   (18755 words)

Christopher Barder: The Disengagement Plan: Is It Good for Israel? The first phase of the disengagement is a pullout from Gaza. This vote against the Disengagement has shown that it has suffered more; that the threat of a Labor-Likud coalition may preserve a discredited PM and his discredited policy; and that democratic accountability is at a low ebb again. If one could honestly say that such hideous events could be stopped by withdrawal; that disengagement would be just that, disengagement, then I would be putting forward a case equally weighted on both sides of the argument because I would be inviting you to consider them as balanced. www.acpr.org.il /ENGLISH-NATIV/04-issue/barder-4.htm   (18755 words)

CNN.com - Parliament backs Sharon's new coalition - Jan 10, 2005 Sharon's disengagement plan calls for the evacuation of all 21 Jewish settlements in Gaza, as well as the Israeli military forces deployed to defend them. Those 13 support Jewish settlers in Gaza and the West Bank who would have to leave under Sharon's disengagement plan. He has said that delaying disengagement until after a new election would be a waste of time. www.cnn.com /2005/WORLD/meast/01/10/israel.government/index.html   (18755 words)

Disengagement The "disengagement" (the tolerable if imprecise and probably misleading term used to describe the Israeli pullout from the Gaza Strip, now scheduled for August) is what will make this summer wrenching; what might happen as a result of it is what might make this summer violent, tragic or historic (in a terrible way). The support of, and perhaps demand for, the disengagement from Gaza by the United States is a key reason for it--but disengagement is not happening because President Bush told Prime Minister Sharon to do it. Its roots are in the political consensus that has developed in Israel over the past two years, probably shared by 75 percent of the Jewish population. weeklystandard.com /Content/Public/Articles/000/000/005/729srssa.asp   (18755 words)

The Disengagement Plan The process of disengagement will serve to dispel claims regarding Israel's responsibility for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The completion of the plan will serve to dispel the claims regarding Israel's responsibility for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Haaretz - Israel News - Article Shalom is in Egypt to see Mubarak after the Israeli cabinet approved on Sunday a plan for Israel's disengagement from the Gaza Strip. At the end of a dramatic cabinet meeting Sunday, the government passed Ariel Sharon's revised disengagement plan, by a vote of 14-7, but the decision does not allow for the dismantling of settlements and the prime minister will have to go back to the cabinet when he actually wants to begin the evacuation process. He said he would stay and vote because his dismissal was not effective until 4:00 P.M. Discussion of the disengagement plan began in the early hours of the afternoon and Elon delivered a stinging attack on the prime minister. www.haaretzdaily.com /hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=435566&contrassID=1&subContrassID=1&sbSubContrassID=0&listSrc=Y   (18755 words)

ISRAEL'S SHARON DISENGAGEMENT PLAN - Raphael Israeli - Benador Associates Before Sharon announced his disengagement plan, and even before he raised the issue in his cabinet, he visited President Bush and made sure to get far-reaching American pledges, that were the long-term remuneration he was seeking in return for his immediate disengagement in Gaza. All the actual and prospective supporters of the plan must be asked whether they share Sharon's vision in the post-disengagement period, which was the very rationale of the deal. But the worst facet of this perverse exercise is that while Sharon has accepted to withdraw from Gaza in order to preserve Israel's interests in the West Bank in the long run, all his open and tacit "supporters" are not of the same view. www.benadorassociates.com /article/5182   (18755 words)

The Daily Star - Politics - Israeli Cabinet approves Gaza pullout In accordance with the authority granted to them through the Cabinet vote, the two men "signed an order for implementing the disengagement plan in the Gaza Strip and northern Samaria," it said, using the biblical term for the northern West Bank. Sharon, who is hoping the Gaza withdrawal will allow Israel to strengthen its grip on parts of the West Bank, also won endorsement for a revised route of the vast separation barrier which the Palestinians fear is designed to pre-empt the boundaries of their promised state. Under the terms of the plan, all 8,000 Gaza settlers and another 300 from four isolated settlements in the northern West Bank are due to be evacuated by autumn. www.dailystar.com.lb /article.asp?edition_id=10&categ_id=2&article_id=12851   (1274 words)

The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Vote clears way for pullout in Gaza Strip Sharon won by luring pro-disengagement parties into his camp — even though some did not like his budget proposal — by agreeing to fund their pet projects and threatening to blame them for killing the Gaza withdrawal if the government collapsed. Opponents of the disengagement plan said they would move their fight from parliament to the streets, and the Yesha Council, an umbrella organization of Jewish settlements, warned that settlers might fight the "expulsion of Jews" from Gaza. Sharon has long been one of the architects of Israel's settlement expansion, and many settlers consider his dogged pursuit of a Gaza pullout to be a betrayal. seattletimes.nwsource.com /html/nationworld/2002224426_mideast30.html   (627 words)

ZNet Israel/Palestine Sharon's Gaza Pullout With regard to the Gaza strip, the disengagement plan published in the Israeli papers on Friday, April 16, specifies that "Israel will supervise and guard the external envelope on land, will maintain exclusive control in the air space of Gaza, and will continue to conduct military activities in the sea space of the Gaza Strip". The Gaza settlements, together with their land reserves, security zones, Israeli-only roads, and the military array protecting them, occupy almost a third of the strip's land, which is one of the most densely populated areas of the world. In the spirit of Orwell, it was even explained that one of the aims of "Days of Pertinence" is to "expand the security zones" around the Gaza settlements (namely to enlarge their lands, pushing more Palestinians out of these lands), in order to guarantee that when they are evacuated, it would not be "under fire". www.zmag.org /content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=107&ItemID=6666   (2198 words)

ei: Gaza pullout could worsen health crisis A humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip is looming, and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's disengagement plan might be the final nail in the coffin, an Israeli report has warned. The PHR says that Israel was to blame for the poor state of Palestinian healthcare during the occupation and that it will not be absolved of its responsibility after the proposed disengagement from the Gaza Strip, a plan it says will only remove visible markers of the occupation. Every day all we see in the news is Gaza, Gaza, Gaza, to the point where people have become desensitised. electronicintifada.net /v2/article3575.shtml   (1193 words)
