Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii On April 18, 2004, the Israeli government issued a general outline of its proposed unilateral disengagement plan from Palestinian territories.
Unilateral withdrawal undermines every compromise solution that might resolve conflicts, and turns power over to the very same people who operate terrorist groups in the area; it offers no incentive for ending the struggle.

 Evaluating International Approaches to Security and Aid Following Disengagement in Gaza - Gerald Steinberg and William Berger
On December 18, 2003, Prime Minister Sharon formally disclosed his intention to implement a wide unilateral disengagement that would include full removal of Israeli civilians from Gaza and the closure of Israeli military bases, accompanied by similar moves in northern Samaria in the West Bank.
In the effort to overcome these obstacles, a small group of Israelis and Palestinians, "acting in their private capacities" (including Labor Party MK Efraim Sneh), have proposed their own detailed action plan based on joint Israeli-Palestinian coordination in the implementation of disengagement issues.
Disengagement marks a fundamental change in the relationship between Israel and the Palestinians since the 1993 Declaration of Principles and, in many ways, since the 1967 war.

 ei: Gaza Disengagement: Palestinian concerns ignored
From the General Outline of the Disengagment Plan that was communicated by the Israeli Prime Minister's Office on April 18, 2004, Sharon sketches the provisions under which the disengagement will occur.
Sharon's Disengagement Plan will continue these arrangements, thus preserving Israel's economy while suppressing the growth of the Palestinian economy.
Such open-ended phrases regarding the West Bank in the General Outline and Sharon's unveiling of the Disengagement Plan in the face of international criticism of the West Bank barrier lead many critics to conclude that Sharon's ulterior motive is to deflect attention away from the barrier and expansion into West Bank territory.

 Israeli settlement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2004, the Israeli government announced its unilateral disengagement plan to dismantle all settlements in the Gaza Strip, as well as four settlements in the West Bank.
The settlements have on several occasions been a source of tension between Israel and the U.S. In 1991 there was a clash between the Bush administration and Israel, where the U.S. delayed a subsidized loan in order to pressure Israel not to proceed with the establishment of settlements for instance in the Jerusalem-Bethlehem corridor.
Most Israeli and US proposals for final settlement have also involved Israel being allowed to retain long established communities in the territories near Israel and in "East Jerusalem" (the majority of the settler population is near the "Green Line"), with Israel annexing the land on which the communities are located.

 Israel news and commentary from IsraPundit
An overwhelming majority (71.5%) of Jewish Israelis thinks the unilateral disengagement from Gaza is only a first step toward a more extensive evacuation of settlements in the West Bank, in the context of a final agreement with the Palestinian Authority (PA).
In its wake, the growth rate of the Israeli economy has grown to 4.4% in 2004, and 4.9% in the first half of 2005, a rate which is considered high by any international standard.
It is already clear to everyone that the greatest influence on the Israeli economy this past year was the Disengagement Plan.

Orlev replied that the only way to thwart Israel's unilateral disengagement plan of 2004 is to stay in the government and stall it from inside.
However, the two major economic key positions - the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Interior Affairs - were given to Benjamin Netanyahu and Abraham Poraz, the most radical liberal - capitalists in the Israeli politics.
Orlev accuses Eitam on focusing only on the Israeli settlements issue, although Eitam also accused Orlev not only in backing-out on Gush Katif but also on his failure to take care of the religious services and solve the social-economical problems of Israel's poors.
