IDF: Disengagement Will Reduce Terror
(Jerusalem Post) Nina Gilbert - Once Israel unilaterally withdraws from the Gaza Strip, there is a great likelihood that the number of terror attacks would be reduced, IDF Intelligence chief Maj.-Gen. Aharon Ze'evi (Farkash) told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Tuesday. Ze'evi said that Arafat and Mohammed Dahlan have formed a "temporary" alliance of "joint interests" to get Dahlan in a position to take over control of the strip. The Hamas, on the other hand, is losing the power it gained recently, he said. Criticism of Arafat's leadership has increased in the PA in the wake of the Sharon-Bush understandings, Ze'evi said.
