Why is Sharon pushing so hard for the plan? Is he just stubborn, or is there undisclosed major pressure from the US government on him to do this?
I think there must be something more to this ... of course, Egypt is acting like they're pressuring Arafat, which I don't really buy, but the fact that Egypt was in that area makes me wonder what the connections are ...
Sharon certainly isn't weak, but I'll admit this has me scratching my head ... unless he's trying to appease moderate / left-wing Israelis by the Gaza pullout ...
or he is in preparation for a Pali state and say to them, fine you can have Gaza and the West Bank (not Jerusalem) so rule yourselves ... of course, that will give the terror supporters even firmer foothold ...
interesting events over there the past 60 days or so ...
