Israel hopes to avoid a scorched-earth policy when it evacuates Gaza settlements under Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon’s controversial ”disengagement” initiative, which won U S support this week, according to a copy of
the plan obtained by Reuters.
The plan states ”Israel will aspire to leave standing the real estate assets of the Israeli settlements”. But
the Israeli NIKE SHOX signalled that a key demand would have to be met for it to leave buildings intact, as U N
officials have urged.
”We want the houses to go to refugees, and if they don’t we reserve the right to destroy them,” a senior
official said.
