Toe-hold in Judah and Samaria? They own entire municipalities. If the IDF could eliminate the local governments in these towns, they would. But Dubya made everyone recognize them as a political party and allow their participation in elections, not just in Ghaza but in Judah and Samaria. Not one of his better ideas.
He thought it would make them take “responsibility”
