(Washington Times) Joshua Mitnick - "From our point of view, with our pullout from Gaza, Gaza becomes Palestinian jurisdiction," said Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Ron Prosor. "We urge the Palestinian people to step up to the plate and start an urgent and vital process of nation building." Israel's government refused to describe the territories conquered in the 1967 Arab-Israeli conflict as occupied, saying there was never an internationally recognized sovereign power there.
