(Jerusalem Post)Dan Gerstenfeld - Itamar Yaar, deputy head of the National Security Council, told a conference on Palestinian-Israeli economic relations at Tel Aviv University on Tuesday that Israel plans to transfer infrastructure and business facilities in Gush Katif to the Palestinians. He said Israel has been holding talks with the World Bank to improve Palestinian conditions. "We have looked for possible employment solutions for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, but not in Israel," he said. Following the disengagement, the Palestinians will receive large tracts of land in Gush Katif that can be used for development and agriculture.
