Sharon Briefs Knesset on Gaza
(Jerusalem Post) Nina Gilbert - Prime Minister Sharon told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday that the Israel Defense Forces would be able to neutralize any fire from Palestinians during the pullout from Gaza. "We will halt the fire, not the disengagement plan," Sharon said. Sharon briefed the committee on progress in talks with Egypt on stationing 750 border police on the Egyptian side of the Philadelphi route instead of civilian police. The Egyptian forces are to be stationed along 14 km opposite Gaza.
