Bush Supports Plan by Sharon for a Withdrawal From Gaza
(New York Times) Richard W. Stevenson - President Bush and Prime Minister Sharon differed openly on Monday over Israel's intention to expand a settlement in the West Bank, but Mr. Bush gave the Israeli leader robust backing for his plan to withdraw from Gaza this summer. Both the Americans and Israelis seemed content to leave any attempt to bridge their differences for another day. Bush gave Sharon a pledge of help for economic development in the Negev and Galilee regions, which could help the Israeli government as it resettles thousands of people.
