The Day After Disengagement
(Jerusalem Post) David Kimche- In the battle for the day after disengagement, the dynamics caused by withdrawal and the removal of settlements will be such that the international community will demand more. The disengagement plan will kindle hopes that Israel and the Palestinians will renew negotiations and will restart the moribund peace process. There can be no doubt that the world, and foremost our ally the U.S., will make a similar demand. Both the Americans and the Europeans will view disengagement as a welcome aperitif for the real meal to follow - the implementation of a revised road map with further withdrawals, this time from West Bank territory.
