UN Orders Its Workers Out of Gaza Strip Fearing Danger to Come
Isralert.com source: http://www.lekarev.org
What does this tell you?
While the international media is focused on the Gaza withdrawal, United Nations Headquarters in New York quietly ordered all foreign staff, especially UN Refugees Works and Relief Agency personnel, to depart the Gaza Strip by last night, Wednesday, August 17. They fear that any workers remaining in Palestinian areas, especially those adjoining Gush Katif, face extreme danger after the Israeli evacuations. The International Red Cross pulled its staff out last week. Meanwhile, a French journalist of Algerian origin kidnapped by armed Palestinians Sunday, August 14, is still missing.
Most significantly, Washington reversed its 20-month ban on US diplomats’ visits to the Gaza Strip and urgently dispatched a top official, US assistance secretary of state David Welch, for a surprise visit to Gaza Tuesday night. The ban had been imposed after the Palestinian Authority refused to hand over the Palestinian Popular Committees Special unit which murdered three US security agents in a bombing attack on Oct 15, 2003.
Why this urgent mission? US intelligence has confirmed the UN estimate of the extreme security danger prevalent in the Gaza Strip. Intel says that Palestinian Authority chairman Mahamoud Abbas has fallen completely under the sway of the Hamas and the Jihad Islami, which are vying with each other for first grab of evacuated Israeli properties ahead of any claim by the Palestinian Authority. Both have especially drilled guerrilla units who are lurking close to Gush Katif ready to pounce on their prey, each other and above all, Israeli targets.
Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abas) had hoped to bring all the Palestinian groups together into a supreme Palestinian coordinating committee but he was outmaneuvered. Hamas sent its top man, Mahmoud al Zuhair to the panel, followed by the top-ranking operatives in the other terrorist organizations. Abu Mazen’s committee was thus perverted into an instrument for his disempowerment.

Secondly, the Palestinian Authority's 24 battalions who were to provide a security belt between the evacuation operation and Palestinian areas lack weapons or any means of combat and, worst of all, their deployment was subject to Hamas sanction.
Finally, Washington received confirmation from US intelligence that Abu Mazen had secretly named the late Yasser Arafat’s partner, Jemal Sema Dana, the mastermind behind the assassination of the three US officials, the new Palestinian military intelligence chief. August 15, Abu Mazen sent two special couriers to assure him he had signed the new letter of appointment, upon which Sema Dana accepted the post.
This was just too much for the Bush Administration. Sema Dana is notorious for designing and managing the network of weapons smuggling tunnels from Sinai to the Gaza Strip, which he handed to Gen. Mussa Arafat in 2004. As chairman of the Gaza terrorist umbrella organization, the Popular Committees, he is the most effective terrorist mastermind in the territory. He has been tagged for the May 2, 2004 murder of the Hatuel family on the Kissufim road, deadly attacks on Israeli troops guarding the Philadelphi border strip in the same month and blowing up an IDF position on the Rafah border crossing in December 2004.
The appointment of a super-terrorist and gun-runner to Iraq, who organized the murder of Americans to a key job, to hold joint responsibility with Egypt for border security, through which he ran his smuggling tunnels, was too much for the Bush administration to stomach. On the other hand, they realize that if Abbas fails to make good on the appointment, Sema Dana will choose his moment to unleash the Popular Committees for a barrage of fire that will throw the entire Israeli pull-out into disarray. Welch is in Gaza to seek a way out of this "balagan" - a popular word here in Israel for "one colossal mess"!

Poor, poor Israel. Now we, Israel's main ally, are abandoning them. Bush claims to read the Bible every night. Could've fooled me....

This was interesting information, thanks for posting it. When will Israel learn from all of this that the leaders of the Palestinians are and will be terrorists for decades. Sharon should have stayed heavy handed and told the US to back off until "we" meaning Israel saw these groups completely disband. I am not liking Bush's foreign policies towards this matter whatsoever.
