Israel would also remove four settlements in the West Bank.But six large settlements would remain.The ruling Likud party of Minister Sharon is expected to vote on the proposal on May second.
Minister Sharon visited the White House on Wednesday.President Bush praised what he called “ historic and courageous actions.” Mr.Bush said the plan gives the Palestinians, in his words, “ a chance to create a reformed, just and free government.”
Palestinian leaders have denounced(谴责)the president.Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia said Bush is the first president to accept Jewish settlements in Palestinian territories.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair was at the White House Friday.He said he welcomed the plan.Blair urged other countries to get involved.
At least for now, Israel would continue to control airspace, waters and land passages.Minister Sharon says the plan is necessary because the Palestinian Authority has failed to stop attacks against Israelis.Diplomatic efforts also have not succeeded.
