Chemistry in Crawford
(Jerusalem Post) Uri Dan - Immediately after his discussions with Bush, I asked Sharon why he doesn't explicitly define the settlement blocs and ask the Knesset to apply Israeli sovereignty to them. "I haven't seen any Israeli government apply Israeli law to the Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria; it isn't a good idea. Why seek friction with the entire world? The settlement blocs will be in our hands and territorial continuity will be maintained between them and Israel," Sharon declared. Sharon emphasized that the road map would commence only after the Palestinians fulfill - in every detail - their commitment to combat terrorism. In this, he and Bush were in complete agreement. Sharon doesn't want to quarrel with Bush, nor does Bush want to quarrel with Sharon. The Israeli leader knows that the struggle for Israel's borders will continue for many years to come.
