2. SHARON ENGAGED IN INTENSIVE EFFORTS
1. NETANYAHU REJECTS AMERICAN IMPOSITION
"Not since the founding of the State of Israel has it happened that a
foreign element attempted to force a peace plan upon the Israelis and
Arabs," said Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu last night. Speaking to an
American Jewish group, he thus rejected reports that the U.S. may try to
impose its own withdrawal plan upon the Israelis. The Prime Minister said
that only Israel can decide on its security arrangements, as its citizens
are the ones who will have to live with the results.
2. SHARON ENGAGED IN INTENSIVE EFFORTS
Minister of Infrastructures Ariel Sharon continues his attempts, together
with senior figures in the Palestinian Authority, to formulate a plan for
the next withdrawal from Yesha (Judea and Samaria). He is working with the
backing of Prime Minister Netanyahu. Arutz-7 has learned that the
negotiations are intensive, and that Sharon refuses to speak publicly about
them until Arafat agrees in principle to the plan. According to the plan,
Israel will withdraw from extensive areas in Yesha, the Palestinian
autonomous areas will be fully contiguous throughout the length of the
Shomron, and the PA will receive significant economic aid from Israel. At
the same time, the network of bypass roads will be considerably expanded,
such that no Jewish community will be uprooted.
Arutz-7's Knesset correspondent Hizki Zisman reports that the MKs of the
Land of Israel front are very apprehensive about the plan, and claim that
Sharon has become the most left-wing member of the government. In
response, Sharon's spokesman Raanan Gissin told Arutz-7 today that Sharon's
primary interest in his talks with the Palestinians is to preserve the
security of the State of Israel, as well as that of the Jewish communities
in Yesha and their residents.

TODAY'S HEADLINES:
ARIEL SHARON SPEAKS
Minister of Infrastructures Ariel Sharon said today that Israel should
first attempt to achieve a state of non-warfare with the Palestinians,
and only afterwards hope for agreements on other issues. Speaking to
a delegation of the Conference of Presidents of American Jewish
Organizations, Sharon said, "Although the dispute over whether the
withdrawal should be from 9% or 10% of Yesha appears to be trite, the
fact is that every single percentage is very important. Israel can
cede 6% without harming its security, 9% is a danger, and 11% is a
grave danger. Every concession will cost us greatly in the long
range." Sharon said, however, that territorial contiguity for the
Palestinian Authority need not necessarily be dangerous for Israel.
Other points raised by Ariel Sharon: * Israel need not lead the
campaign against Russian aid to Iran for the development of
non-conventional weapons.
* The Palestinians are creating a "crisis climate" by not progressing
in the committee talks with Israel, hoping for American pressure on
Israel. America should be involved in the process, but cannot create
pressure. Israel must be responsible for its own security.
Knesset Land of Israel front leader MK Michael Kleiner met with Prime
Minister Netanyahu last night, and now feels that Netanyahu is
determined to carry out a large-scale withdrawal from Yesha, in
accordance with Ariel Sharon's plan. No date has been set for the
resumption of construction on Har Homa either, said Kleiner. The Land
of Israel MKs are again threatening not to vote with the coalition on
important Knesset votes, starting next week.
