| ...and the not so secret deal between Arial Sharon and Bush on Gaza has now also been confirmed. Again. Told ya. In the story above Haaretz is leaving out some significant details. There in are a report from tomorrow`s (Sunday) Washington Post: "when Sharon was poised to remove settlers from Gaza, the Bush administration arrived at a secret agreement -- not disclosed to the Palestinians -- that Israel could add homes in settlements it expected to keep, as long as the construction was dictated by market demand, not subsidies." We knew that of course but Elliot Abrams has newly confirmed it and: "U.S. officials indicated that Obama wants to move beyond the 2004 letter and hold Israel to its commitments under the road map. "The bottom line is we expect all the parties in the region to honor their commitments, and for the Israelis, that means a stop to settlements..." Time`s up. |
